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

You are pathetic.. Do you have friends?[/quote]

I get what PP is saying here. Rodman was looking down the whole time, it was just blind shot that got lucky because the Japanese defensive line had their backs turned and moved out of the way. Rodman didn’t even see Horan making her run to the far post. It was dice roll that came up in our favor this time. You can’t build off of that.

The unfortunate thing is it bails just adds to the hype of Rodman without substance. So it’s hard to stomach in the long term because Rodman already is entrenching her mindset in a way that is unhelpful down the road. (Ie. Her quote about not being willing to change any of her play style to fit Emma’s plan).

Rodman is nowhere near good enough yet.

All that said, she does put herself in these spots to create chances. And that is a huge part of her upside. Two goals this Olympics from her have been lucky goals, and she has capitalized on them. There is a skill in that! And the USWNT needs more of that from their other starters, but they also need a lot more growth out of Rodman. Her footwork, and relational soccer IQ are pretty mediocre for a winger.[/quote]
