[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Game winner from Trinity!![/quote]

So in the end it’s just a kickball goal. The finish was great though (the defending was poor). [/quote]

Beautiful ball from Dunn, exquisite touch from Trinity to bring it down before turning the defender inside out with sublime skill, and then a wonderful left-footed strike into the far top corner. Hell of a sequence and great finish!

Yeah don’t know about that. That is not a high probability shot and it is certainly not the shot you want her to taking all the time. A great skill and exquisite touch is not her game. It is more like an exhausted player get lucky against other tired players. The US physically beat up the smaller Japanese all day. The longer the game goes the more this impacts the smaller players.

The take away is the US is not a technical skilled team, has weaknesses in midfield and defense but plays a strong, athletic and physical game. They will beat 90% of the team with that. The one person who does not fit in is Rose Lavelle. She just does not fit this team. It would be interesting to see another player that is a better style of play fitin her place.

Credit for the win goes to Hayes putting the players in the right places, play your style and grind it out. Though I think the US would have won in a shootout. [/quote]
