Video looks better so far tonight. Is this a different seating configuration than what is normally used in Nashville? Looks like a good size crowd.
Completely random, unimportant observation...I think Rhonda Jones (#2) fake-bakes. She's the only tan Scotland player.
US players still in their warm up pants. They all look like they're cold. The Scottish team is all "what's your prob? We're in shorts already..."
Let's see how Leroux does getting the start. She's only ever appeared in the second half for the USWNT (aside from five minutes on Saturday).
CBs getting too wide/far apart as the ball gets knocked around. A bad turnover & quick counter could catch a wide duo out.
Also, less zooming in on the ball by the camera operator (again, knocking wood to not jinx us as it's early yet)
Solo's shouting sounds just like the macaws of parrot jungle. And yet I still find in comforting to know she is there LOL.
Beuhler got caught defending high & couldn't turn & track as quickly as the attacker made the run. Then Engen didn't quite get the proper clearance header. Danger cleared.
are they working on defense this game, because this group isn't holding possession as well as the 9th's group?
