Agreed that Dunn can't defend at an elite level.  Horan would be nice right now

The French are abusing  Dunn's side of the defense.  USA has a challenge tonight in Paris -- France is playing better so far.

They're going to play like this and frustrate us all the way to the World Cup Championship aren't they? If they make it there, ugh...

lavelle is terribad.  she's had a pretty bleh WC.  not sure why she keeps starting.

We should be Germany 2014 and are playing like Greece 2004

Yeah, disappointing performance by USA so far.... they are fortunate to be ahead 1-0.  

 France took it to us that half. Lucky to be up 1-0

I know nothing about soccer. I do know that there are some hot chicks on the field right now. 

not many.

so france has more of the ball and the play is more on our side of the field, but i don't feel like france's chances were dangerous, we're not chasing the game, and if ellis makes the right subs we could break it open.  our spacing is better, and i would rather see this type of game than what we did against spain.

Yep, their only dangerous action was down the right flank against Dunn with Diani.

Diani is pretty damn good, I don't recall her looking this good in their last game.

All that means is Jill makes a couple of subs, and turns it on in the next half.

Lucky to be winning a game in which the opposition has zero shots on goal.

You guys remain the best.

Nothing scary out of that half at all. Score 2 more and be done with it

Is that a lot?

Yeah I felt like they had more than zero shots on goal too.

The US really needs a midfielder who can control possession. Is there one anywhere on the team? Perhaps maybe a substitute who is arguably the best midfielder in the world the coach inexplicably refuses to start?

Dunn is a really bad defender.  It can’t possibly be the case that she’s our best option at left back, can it?  She defends like a forward, which is a horrible tactic for a fullback.

My mind.  It's pretty fucking boggled right now

The only "saves" I remember Naeher making weren't actually on goal, they would have gone wide.

We're completely outclassing them on our* end of the pitch, to where 2 goals would end this. i.e. 2-0 - not 2 more. 

The issue is that we're spending too much time on that end of the pitch and our attack has been sloppier than a fat 19 year old losing her virginity. 

Tighten things up and this is 3-0 going away, we'll see you Tuesday, England.

Also France is the diviest bunch of divers I've ever seen dive. 

Seems like Horan for Lavelle ASAP and Press for Rapinoe around 60 would make sense.

I counted 3, but what do I know. 

Agree... there was at least 1 shot on goal by France in 1st Half 

That wasn't good Dunn...

 

WTF is Ellis thinking playing her back there? Dunn has skills and as an attacker with her speed and leg she can make a difference.  But there's really no one else in the country better than her on the back line?

Not sure why you're trusting an aggy to count. There was at MOST 1. 

She's had a horrible game today. Rapinhoe looks like she could run for days and never get tired.

Don't go there.

Watching a different match I guess.  Except for a few runs by USA, the better play tonight has been by France so far.

I don't care what you haters say, Crystal Dunn is a work horse. Yeah a couple bad decisions by her, but man is she slowing Diani.

Like...we can't be the only ones seeing that they are absolutely attacking Dunn right?

Well that was a good play by Dunn.  Taking some of that back...

 

French (why do you think I have this outrageous accent) looking pretty good actually.

Yeah now would be the time for a couple of subs...Dunn was attacking like hell right there and then made the mistake of passing to Lavelle.

She made the mistake of passing the ball behind Lavelle. It was not a good pass.

AM might be concussed??

Well she's been hammered by the past 4 opposing teams' defenses so she's probably playing banged up. She's look good in flashes today and is directly responsible for the only goal so far.

Watch us go up 3-0 after subbing in Horan.

Lol at the commentator "Lavelle has been excellent this WC"

Yeah, sure
