[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people losing faith in everyone after one tough game. 
Chill out folks. [/quote]

They should be beating them by 3 goals. The US is underperforming. Dunn is not a fullback...lots of players playing out of position and bad chemistry. It’s hard to tell if it’s bad chemistry or just players in the wrong position. [/quote]

How do you calculate that they "should" and by 3???  Underperforming?  Nonsense.

We beat Spain 1-0 in January with almost the exact same lineups for both teams, Spain had more possession, and we fouled them 16-8.  
This game was always going to be a grind game.

Give Spain credit for grinding today.  And the US as well.  Ellis smartly kept her grinders in and tried to sub off some time at the end.  Professional coaching = for the win.
And she tuck to her 4-3-3 instead of dropping a forward into midfield.  Play the way you're designed!!

The game against Thailand was a joke.  We beat Sweden 2-0.  In 2019 Spain lost only to ENG 2-1 and Germany 1-0.  No one beat them by more than 1 goal.
The Tournament started today for the USWNT.

Game against France will be more of the same - a grind.  The book is out on the USWNT and how to play them: contact, deny corners, counter.  .  Kudos to Ellis for keeping them in and not rewarding Spain by taking out our starters.   Make no mistake France is good, possibly a faster more fluid team than US.  Lavalle will be critical with her speed and playmaking and Ertz getting forward from her defensive mid.  Morgan gets the press, Rapinoe takes the glory, but this tournament comes down to Lavalle and Ertz.

Exactly. People seem to think the US should crush every team...doesn't work like that. 
Spain will be one of favorites in four years, if not the best team in the world.

This was a great game if you love competition.  I feel sorry for people that love winning or their country(as far as sports go) more than the game, and can't appreciate a grind gutsy win.  Would a 3 goal margin get a bye into the final??   So many little things too appreciate in this game.   I'd love to know Lavalle's work rate and distance covered in this game, on a short turnaround and still doing so many things right to create and deny space and chances.  [/quote]

Did you watch the game? You seem like one of those people who chant USA USA USA and think it’s so neat that women are playing a sport, The US should have won that game easily. The opportunities to score were there but the opportunities died as the ball went to Rapinio’s foot - too slow, tired legs, lack of creativity..no threat. It’s coaching that has Rapinio is getting touches as the playmaker from the left vs Lavelle in the middle. Lavelle would be so much more threatening as a playmaker if she was getting the ball in the final third with a threat on the left side. Dunn is going to get exposed against the French. No way she will be able to deal with Diani. [/quote]
O
Yes I watched the game.  That’s why i gave an 11 putting Morgan and Tapinoe on the bench and suggesting Lloyd and Heath up top with Lavelle as a false 9

Captain? Rapinoe actually quit running on a ball from sweet Baby today.   For that alone I’d sit her.

I’m one of those people that played coached, still do, am licensed, ca break down tactics, set them, change them on the fly
And knows there are different approaches and the only right one is the one that works and wins the game fairly. 
I don’t chant since the miracle on ice, I ain’t your friend, and I don’t value opinions that have to bolster themselves with attempts at personal insults 
Yo who you imagine I must be because you tho k my opinion is different than yours

Dunn's speed will be necessary v Diani.  Diani lit to us up from the striker position not the left.  She’ll play there again Friday I expect Because if respect for Dunn’s speed.    chess not checkers  game is played on field not paper
