[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No matter what you think of Rapinoe her two goals today were beautiful. Yes the first one should have been saved but it’s not that easy to put a corner on frame. And her second goal was a screamer. I think she’s aged out now from the Uswnt but she’s scored or assisted on the biggest stages and she should be extremely proud of the career she had. That assist to Wambach in stoppage time of overtime against Brazil is easily my favorite moment in sports.[/quote]

If you watch a lot of soccer and understand the game Rapinoe is very disruptive to the team. She is slow, defenders do not fear her when she has the ball, she is out of position, does not track down or player defense, has no off the ball movement, consistently turns the ball over and seems uninterested when she does not have the ball. Rapinoe is one of the reason the team plays so poorly against better teams. Other players have to cover for her- Dunn. When Rapinoe is on the filed the US is playing a man down. She was this way in the last World Cup also. At her best she was a role player surrounded be very talented players. It is criminal she took the gold boot from Morgan. [/quote]

I agree with you re Rapinoe, but I think PP was simply pointing out that Rapinoe scored two good quality goals against Australia and had an important assist against Brazil 10 years ago.  We can thank her for her past accomplishments and focus on younger players who give us a better chance to win and hopefully bring a lot less drama off the field.  [/quote]
