[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still think Horan is the key in midfield and offensively (play making, controls, composure, quick one touches).  Lavelle is a dynamic player that puts pressure on the other team.  Dunn is solid.  Mewis is the up and coming super star.  Press is a solid scorer and their defense is solid.  I think they'll be fine, but yes they will have some tough games and once the quarters hit, it will be a toss up.

Personally, I'd get rid of Rapinoe and Llloyd and keep Morgan.  Morgan at least still has some pace.  But they probably have to keep Rapinoe or she'll make a big political stink.  [/quote]

Horan is a good physical presence but her passing is not consistent enough on the offensive end. 1/2 the time she makes a great pass and the other 1/2 she turns the ball over with no pressure. [/quote]

Horan’s passing % is 73% with short and medium at 78%. Quite a bit more than “half the time”.  https://fbref.com/en/players/a8a538a8/Lindsey-Horan [/quote]

Lloyd, on the other hand: https://fbref.com/en/players/f9589b2d/nat_tm/Carli-Lloyd-National-Team-Stats [/quote]

I have less problem with Lloyd then a lot of the other players.  Lloyd's job is to put the ball in the net and she has done well over her career in international comps.  Why the US has not found center forwards other than her and Morgan for the last 10 years is a bigger question, because now they are stuck.  Neither Morgan or Lloyd are in their prime and I don't see a successor in view right now.[/quote]
