[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vlatko is catering.

Alex was fading in 2017. Even for US she has scored 1 PK since - not counting the Thai scrimmage nonsense
She has always been big and relied on her strike and speed both of which appear to be gone.  That header wasn’t close. 
Alex doesn’t creat she finishes.    Now she can’t finish. Need Tobin back to create.  Lavalle on the wing and Heath on wing would create for Alex.  I would bet anything Alex’s vertical is 25% of what it once was - she can’t outjump for headers now and doesn’t accelerate - at all.   She also hasn’t created for others in a long time.  
RPinoe is an utter waste right now.   Unfair to judge her against herself but she is a shell of who she was.  Still deserves to be playing but is no longer a complement to those around her.   
Mewis and Horan and Sonnett and O’Hara are the spine to build around right now.  
If Vlatko sticks with Rap and Carli and subs Alex then I Would not expect a win  v Brazil   Hope for won but that’s different

Rapinoe was an okay roll player surround by other very talented players in her prime. She lost a step before the last World Cup and has struggled in NWSL. She is the face of US women soccer. I just do not see her play justifying a starting roll.

That was Canada’s B team. They were faster, more physical and could pass. Their team speed of play was better. The US players not playing in Europe are turn over machine. Yes they win the ball but quickly turn it over with inaccurate passing. There are 4-5 European women’s club teams that would beat the team the US put on the field last night. [/quote]
