[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many people losing faith in everyone after one tough game. 
Chill out folks. [/quote]

They should be beating them by 3 goals. The US is underperforming. Dunn is not a fullback...lots of players playing out of position and bad chemistry. It’s hard to tell if it’s bad chemistry or just players in the wrong position. [/quote]

How do you calculate that they "should" and by 3???  Underperforming?  Nonsense.

We beat Spain 1-0 in January with almost the exact same lineups for both teams, Spain had more possession, and we fouled them 16-8.  
This game was always going to be a grind game.

Give Spain credit for grinding today.  And the US as well.  Ellis smartly kept her grinders in and tried to sub off some time at the end.  Professional coaching = for the win.
And she tuck to her 4-3-3 instead of dropping a forward into midfield.  Play the way you're designed!!

The game against Thailand was a joke.  We beat Sweden 2-0.  In 2019 Spain lost only to ENG 2-1 and Germany 1-0.  No one beat them by more than 1 goal.
The Tournament started today for the USWNT.

Game against France will be more of the same - a grind.  The book is out on the USWNT and how to play them: contact, deny corners, counter.  .  Kudos to Ellis for keeping them in and not rewarding Spain by taking out our starters.   Make no mistake France is good, possibly a faster more fluid team than US.  Lavalle will be critical with her speed and playmaking and Ertz getting forward from her defensive mid.  Morgan gets the press, Rapinoe takes the glory, but this tournament comes down to Lavalle and Ertz.

Exactly. People seem to think the US should crush every team...doesn't work like that. 
Spain will be one of favorites in four years, if not the best team in the world.
