WWC19 USA v SWEDEN June 20, pre/pbp/post

I'll play. I predict a 2-1 USA win.

 

I laughed hard at this.

 

3-1 USA, sounds like Ertz won’t play

 

More fiddling with the starting line up?

 

Ertz' injury is not good. Hope she recoveries quickly.
EDIT: Just saw her jogging with teammates before the match. She looks OK.

 

Why does Jill Ellis always start her comments with: "I mean, yeah..."

 

I like Horan AND Sam in our midfield

 

Just to be sure: I guess @Gilmoy will post his usual PBP here?

 

Björn for Glas, Ilestedt for Fischer, Andersson for Eriksson; Zigiotti Olme for Rubensson; Jakobsson for Hurting, Blackstenius for Anvegård, Schough for Rolfö. 7 of 11!

It is compensation for incomplete thought. It is like so many of our verbal delaying tactics that are used to allow our minds to catch up with our mouths.

There are people that do not use such tactics like Charles Barkley. Phil Jackson once said, "I just love Charles Barkley, you can see a thought form in his mind and the pass right out of his mouth without ever stopping in between."

The best public speakers, particularly those that seem to be the most spontaneous ones, do not verbalize the delaying pause they just pause and think but usually they think very fast.

 

Wow what an awesome tribute to Tobin Heath!
@Semblance17 must be lovin' this one.

 

She gives me chills

 

I hated that.

Sweden is ready for Canada.

 

1-0

Horan from a Rapinoe corner that trickled across the face of the goal off of a Mewis deflection

 

Goal stands after some deliberation about something. Maybe interference with the goalkeeper.

 

Well that was fast. Deliberate low near post ball set play, or good reaction by Mewis to deflect that in front? Horan just good reaction and lucky to be in the right spot to be the one to make the finish.

 

Comment from my youngest granddaughter: What's with Rapinoe's hair? It looks grey. Is she trying to look old?
BTW: 1-0 US Horan off Rapinoe's corner.

 

They may have been reviewing for offside. She appeared even in the last still.

 

Come on Lavelle, taking way too many touches in the box.

 

Sweden squad rotation is so severe it may have ruined this one. Not sure Sweden have the depth for this.

 

Your granddaughter is right: where is the brilliant shade of pink she was showcasing at the beginning of the Cup?
