[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This current USWNT better get their act together.  They were not impressive at all last night.  Zero creativity and were outplayed for numerous stretches of the game.  This current team also lacks likability.  Not only from the outside looking in, but between players.  They seem to be a collection of individuals that feel entitled to be playing on the national team.[/quote]

You don’t judge by one game. I’ve seen many quality teams look mediocre in a given single game. Plus, they were playing Nigeria, not Brazil or one of the good Euro teams. Low motivation pre-tourney game. A lot of naysayers out there. Let’s see how the olympics go... maybe you’ll all be right and the WNT will fall flat. It appears to be what you’re all hoping for. Meanwhile I will be routing for them and confident in their ability to do well. [/quote]

It isn't that people want the WNT to fall flat but they need an alarm bell. They need to fall flat in order to adapt and evolve their game to match what is happening in Europe. We will no longer be able to rely on athleticism as European teams are matching athleticism with far more technical and tactical play.

We will never have a problem getting out of group stages but expecting cake walks through the knockout stages to the finals are going to  be a rude awakening. [/quote]

Exactly.   There was very little technical and tactical play last night.  It was kickball.  The midfield was atrocious.  Looked like they had 3 CDMs out there and none of them had any vision.  Just brute force.[/quote]

Very little technical and tactical play? Can you explain this?[/quote]

Technical would mainly be the ability to control the ball yourself and between teammates.
Tactical would be your formation, how you plan to move the ball down the field, defensive shape, pressing when and where, taking advantage of certain matchups, etc.[/quote]
