August 3, 20241 yr We're too often unintelligent in attack. And it was an issue at the WC under a different coach. Think the current pool is lacking a little football IQ.
August 3, 20241 yr Author Our midfield is not good. Rodman has to come back for the ball and carry it forward herself.
August 3, 20241 yr Japan looking dangerous. US women too many touches in traffic, as per usual, instead of quick, decisive passing.
August 3, 20241 yr 32 minutes ago, alincoln said: Agree. Our front 3 seems very nervous and Horan keeps giving the ball away. Lavelle and Albert have shown signs that they could open Japan up Horan has been a turnover machine in the games I’ve watched. We’re too static overall. Need to start making runs and passing with anticipation. It looks like we’re terrified of losing possession.

August 3, 20241 yr Rose looking for passes and her forwards are just slowly backing into defenders like Shaq in the low post. Sigh.
August 3, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, Ted Lange said: Its like watching a NFL team it’s 3 excellent WRs but a donkey for a QB What about a Bronco with donkey-like buckteeth?

August 3, 20241 yr Author We need to get Smith’s lazy ass off the field. I started watching at halftime and I don’t think she’s touched the ball once.
August 3, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, alincoln said: Horan is certainly capable of it but she has sucked for the last 150 minutes Her touches and technique have just looked goofy as hell this tournament. She’s made lot of bouncing, slow passes, in addition to the turnovers.
August 3, 20241 yr A bright spot: Dunn has markedly improved her 1-on-1 defending. She looks like a different player.
August 3, 20241 yr Rodman sitting wide open it takes us 5 fucking hours to get the ball up then we turn it over. Get these gals some smelling salts or something jfc.
August 3, 20241 yr 20 minutes ago, alincoln said: I’d love to see he pass completion % I wouldn’t be shocked if it was negative.
August 3, 20241 yr we're getting cannonblasty long-range strikes find frame when you are on the front foot not when 9 team mates are facing you back to goal

August 3, 20241 yr Just now, ztejas said: By energy I'm assuming you mean a functional knowledge of attacking football and ball progression. Regardless if the cause is a lack of knowledge or a lack of energy, our attackers need to start moving off the ball ASAP.
August 3, 20241 yr Julie Foudy have a daughter on the bench or something? I mean we do need to get some subs in but she's really beating that dead horse.
August 3, 20241 yr Albert’s touch today is as delicate as her social media posting. Has this ref called a single foul on Japan?
August 3, 20241 yr Just now, BrickHorn said: Albert’s touch today is as delicate as her social media posting. Been waiting all game to post that?
August 3, 20241 yr Lavelle is the only non-defender playing with any moxie. Get her someone off the bench she can connect with.
August 3, 20241 yr Feels like Japan has 2-3 extra players on the pitch. We’re so slow and predictable it’s amazing they don’t have more steals
August 3, 20241 yr Just now, ztejas said: Lavelle is the only non-defender playing with any moxie. Get her someone off the bench she can connect with. Need Shaw in there
August 3, 20241 yr Horan had the perfect opportunity to pass into a streaking attack and instead turned back to the center. wtf?
August 3, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, BrickHorn said: Albert’s touch today is as delicate as her social media posting. Has this ref called a single foul on Japan? Two fouls on US, two fouls on Japan. He's been consistent ... in that he swallowed his whistle.
