    Heath makes a excellent run forward and draws a foul at the edge of the box. Rapino again hits the wall wasting another opportunity.

    Press has looked much better in that position the last two matches despite not playing nearly as much. Pugh has been remarkably underwhelming.

    I’m not sure Press is the answer, either. I don’t really know who is, tbh.

    England was a much better team. The forwards not finishing is a consistent theme with this team tho.

    What does England have to do with what I said?

    The lack of finishing and the horrid free kicks are the result of poor practice habits and that is something that should be fixed.

    Press dribbles into an area covered by 6 Brazil players and gives the ball away.

    It's not about my viewing pleasure. It's about the players surviving the games in one functioning piece.

    So far Press is having her worse match in a while. She is dribbling into trouble and making poor passes and, so far, her speed has meant nothing.

    Marta draws a foul near the edge of the box. The free kick tested Harris a bit. Rapino could learn from her.

    You were comparing the GKs and defense. Brazil looked pretty meh for the first ~65 minutes of this game. Makes it easier for the defense to look solid.

    Harris has shown much better than Franch but tbh I haven’t been super impressed with either her nor Naeher when I’ve seen them at other times this cycle.

    Right after I said she looked better than Pugh she pretty much stopped making good plays.

    We're just going to ignore the sub and coach who were on the field?

    I'm still not a fan of friendlies against Brazil.

    I learned nothing from this US team during this tournament. I still wish Ellis was out.

    US wins 1-0. A very very underwhelming win with nothing really positive to bring out of it.

    The US has a LOT of work to do before the WWC but there is still enough time to fix the problems with the help of the NWSL.

    But not off free kicks. In this game she hit the wall twice on free kicks and that should never happen.

    I couldn't see who was in the huddle making that f....ing, inspiring exhortation.

    What this game shows me is you need Mewis in the midfield and Sauerbrunn in the back four.

    I saw long portions of all 3 of these games. I have not been impressed. This team is lacking … SOMETHING.

    Seriously, this is like the 3rd time this statement has been posted on this thread. Just don't watch, it's that simple.
