[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USNT looked a southwest awful against Vietnam and Vietnam didn’t even get a shot on goal.  We also got rattled way too easily.  These women were half the size of our players yet throwing us down like rag dolls.  That should have been handled on the field to let those players know they are t getting away with it- if ref wasn’t going to do anything.

Alex had a good assist, but was way off tonight.  [/quote]

Argentina lost to Saudi on the 1st game and won the World Cup.  I don't think the first game means anything. [/quote]

Agreed. France, England, US all looked a bit sluggish in their openers, but those teams along with Spain will be there in the end. Was also pleasantly surprised by Haiti. Decent team. [/quote]

France is not considered contender and Spain brought its B and C squad. [/quote]

The Vegas odds makers have Spain with the second best odds to win it all. [/quote]

Yes it is strange. Would have been nice to see the Spanish A team. The A team is much better(and mostly play for one club) vs what they brought to the World Cup. Also they did not suffer the injuries that most of the others top teams have suffered. It is bizarre that they did not fire the coach and move on. [/quote]

This is not a B or C team. A few good players haven't come back after the protest, but some of the best players have, including Putellas (probably the best player in the world but coming off an ACL injury), Battle, Bonmati, Hermoso, Paredes. Some of those who have taken themselves out of running wouldn't have been starters given how good some of the young ones who have replaced them are.

"Some of the signatories, including Manchester United's Ona Battle and Aitana Bonmati, have returned to the squad, while others seen as sympathetic to the complaints, like Jennifer Hermoso and Irene Paredes, are back in the fold too. Whether Alexia Putellas would be involved was also a cause for concern. The two-time Ballon d'Or winner had somewhat stayed out of this situation after she sustained an ACL injury on the eve of the Euros. She didn't play at all for Barcelona until late in the season, and both her fitness and her views on the protests were unknown quantities. Happily for Spain fans, she too is back, and the upheaval has even allowed some younger faces into the side."

The absence of some of the senior team members has also made it possible for others to come up from the youth team, which might have even been better for the senior team. Spain has an incredible level of talent pipeline that is improving every year as the women's game soars. This is what happens when a soccer-crazy culture like France and Spain take to women's football.
