July 27, 20232 yr Smith is fucking horrible. Our attack seems to be 1 v Netherlands D. Dribble and don't look to pass at all. Coaching is fucking horrible. Our forwards can't hold the ball for shit. Bad first touches, dribbling directly into the defender in front, and no matter what, do not pass. Edited July 27, 20232 yr by crash_davis

We are not built to defeat a more skilled, possession-oriented team with good athletes. We're down 1-0 because of one bad defensive mistake. After that we started chasing and looked nervous. Let's see how they come out after half. They are not a more skilled team than us. They might be smarter and better coached.

She was fairly even on her hip and tied up legs with her in our third. Overly aggressive tackle attempt but not a dangerous challenge in my book that warrants a card. Hard foul. I wouldn't have been shocked if she got a yellow, however 😆 If the drag down from the collar from behind that they committed very early on wasn't a yellow then that shouldn't have been either. We can disagree.
July 27, 20232 yr Not dangerous, just sloppy. Card-able doesn't always mean dangerous. I will say that the ref is letting a little lot more go than I would expect (both ways). So many times I see something in the field and wonder "where's the whistle?" But they play on. Edited July 27, 20232 yr by Captain Ron

It's almost like our players don't trust one another.

Case in point, the card on Lavelle - that could have been a call (just a foul) the other way right before that. Edited July 27, 20232 yr by Captain Ron

Yeah, I've only watched about 20 minutes of this game and I've seen at least 4 yellow card fouls, and finally one was given just now.

July 27, 20232 yr Our attack in the final 3 is hard as fuck to watch. Has there been 1 cross from the wing in the last 40 mins of play?

Yeah and I didn't phrase it well. Just kind of meant in the context of this one.
July 27, 20232 yr pressure them run a high line give them no time on the ball body up they can be had

July 27, 20232 yr That's a card right there. That's a fucking hockey hip check that Kasparaitis would be proud of.

July 27, 20232 yr Holy shit, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such perfect timing. Screwed by the ref, opponent being cocky, then immediately shut them up with a goal. Awesome. Edited July 27, 20232 yr by 'stache
July 27, 20232 yr the difference beyond the goal but that also made the goal is lavelle the rest of the team is up a gear with her running at people
