August 6, 20232 yr I gave Morgan shit for that offside shot, but when it was game on, she did what she needed for that ball.
August 6, 20232 yr lackluster is a word. also i never got scrubs. everyone loved that show but i just missed the boat on that one
August 6, 20232 yr This game has been frustrating on our finishing and their keeper standing on her head but we’ve created the better chances. I believe … 🇺🇸

August 6, 20232 yr 12 minutes ago, InkaUtexas said: This scares me. The only thing that is worrying me is their set pieces*. We're doing our thing pretty well on the defensive end if we can see it coming. 7 shots only 1 on frame. What I do worry about is the fact that we can't find the net. We need to seize this advantage and score. *EDIT - Note Sweden is running set pieces from 40 yards out now, they feel confident on these. Edited August 6, 20232 yr by Captain Ron
August 6, 20232 yr This start is starting to look like the rest of the tournament, and it’s probably/definitely due to lack of proper substitution

August 6, 20232 yr Just now, hayden_horn said: watching rapinoe give up on that play broke my heart a little She didn't give up, her old legs couldn't get here there. I though she gave up on that in real time, but the replay showed me a look I know all to well when you realize you can't move your body the way you need to get to a ball.
August 6, 20232 yr BTW - Lynn Williams is making me eat my words on the Rodman sub. After that first ball got away from her, she has been beating their left side up and down the field. Her plays have forced their keeper to make a lot of these saves. Edited August 6, 20232 yr by Captain Ron

And I know what you mean about body action vs. mind intention. It is real.
August 6, 20232 yr Now THAT was the first touch Smith! That wasn't on frame, but forced a save. 7 minutes ago, hayden_horn said: watching rapinoe give up on that play broke my heart a little You know what is breaking my heart? Watching her corners. If she can't get those into a play she really is useless out there.
August 6, 20232 yr 9 minutes ago, Bottlecap said: can we sub out Rapinoe? Why not? We still have over half our subs left!!!
August 6, 20232 yr And I say that as a fan. She doesn't have the legs and even she knows it. We are slightly short of playing 10 v 11.

August 6, 20232 yr Subs now?!?! Jesus christ Vlatko! Didn't you watch England in the Euros!!?!?!?!??!
August 6, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, Bottlecap said: Damn this team deserves so much better than a rapinoe retirement tour And if he's going to make a sub this late, it has to be for Rapinoe. She is going to be useless in the shootout. You can almost predict the panenka. If she isn't on the list as taker 10, I am going to fight someone. Make it 11, I would trust Naeher more right now.

August 6, 20232 yr And Morgan is good at penalties. DAMMMMITTTTTT As has been said, fuck this retirement tour.
August 6, 20232 yr @InkaUtexas, appears @tokamak couldn’t hang, so think we’re the only two soldiers left from the beginning.
August 6, 20232 yr Just now, Mdhorn said: Not liking penalty kicks against their goalie. I don't like PKs because PKs. But PKs are a much different animal than the game. She might have been hot in game, she could save ZERO of these and I wouldn't be shocked.
