What I am saying is they played Cox out of position, so to expect perfect execution in what is not her normal position is silly. It has also been a while since Hope played striker.

I suspect they did it because this is the point where they need to assess what all the capabilities of the 6 reserve field players are, and to give them experience in positions which are not normal for them.

To that end, I'd say she succeeded. Brasil was held scoreless and she was a contributor to scoring chances. That was the goal for a defender , wasn't it? Should Brasil have been held more scoreless?

The Olympic rosters are pretty small. Each player will have to be ready to
play more than one spot.

She should have definitely been credited with an assist on that beautiful lob inside the penalty that was wrongly called offsite by the referee.
