[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is 4:45am here on the west coast. That last pk sure looked like a save to me, even with the goal line technology.

Andonovski absolutely deserves to be fired for that Pino sub, and I’m sure will be.

I’m pretty sure Pino is my least liked athlete ever. I guess it’s not her fault she was subbed in, but her first touch was emblematic of why she has no place on this team. Her service was absolute garbage. I see better play on U14 ECNL teams.

Then of course there is her blown pk. Again, to be fair, 2 others did the same thing, and I love O’Hara.

But that game, those decisions, and the outcome is so unfair to the vast majority of the US team that deserved to win.

[b]Everyone knew continuing to choose politics over performance would bite this team. [/b]After her benching post-Portugal, I thought Andonovski’s sense of self-preservation might prevail.  Obviously not. [/quote]

Essentially US soccer from the youth level to the National team.  We are a political favorite feeder system.[/quote]

I don’t think your statement is accurate about US Soccer.  However, if you are correct, that political favorite feeder system produced a team that, today at least, [b]dominated the #3 ranked team[/b] - 11 shots on goal for US v 1 for Sweden.

Over 4 games in this WC, US only conceded 2 shots on goals. In 4 games. Yet they only won 1 of those 4 games. That is a little unlucky, even for a team that was otherwise second best for large stretches of the Netherlands and Portugal games. [/quote]

Do not think you can put much stock in the ranking. I said earlier it would not matter who the US drew group G. It was a weak group. Sweden did not have the athleticism and looked slow vs the US. This is the type of team the US should beat. Maybe if you started someone beside Morgan and Rapinoe as a sub? Good showing by US but think who ever advanced will be out in the next round.

With splitting the men’s winning the US women earned more money vs the eventual winner of this World Cup. [/quote]
