1) U.S.
2) France
3) Japan
4) Germany


DITTO!!!

Another easy win for the U.S. Chile’s keeper was on fire in the second half, else it would have been worse. Better test coming up against Sweden.

Also - thought Norway played well against France. Questionable PK call on France's second goal, but I guess they want more goals so have tweaked the rule interpretation. Anyhow, France was the better side, but not by as much as predicted. Germany also squeaks by again. Good players but uninspiring offensive tactics.


Agree with Norway-France & Germany points. I also think US and France are the top contenders

Anyone know if any of the players (on any team) are non-binary?

BS call on the PK. France got the home field gift.

Saurbraun is still out.


Dunn has been playing in the back for quite a while. She played there in college and briefly with the Spirit, so it's not much of a stretch. Ellis likes attacking fullbacks, anyway.

Ertz moved to the back to replace Sauerbrunn. That made the midfield decision easier -- Lavelle, Mewis and Horan all started. With Ertz up, one of those three sits.


Dun is the best wing player.

I agree that USA, France, England, Japan and Germany are the teams to bet on. Missing Hope Solo for USA. Can't wait for Tuesday!


Did you really watch game? Germany players fouled a lot more.


Hope Solo is a b#tch. She just attacked the coach, right before the first game!


Hope Solo is a winner. She just won the arbitration against USSF. http://hopesolo.com/2019/05/31/panel-rules-us-soccer-violation-of-law/

+1 Spain had lots of help


Spain had the complexion to get the protection.
