10 of these 11 US players have not played in over 2 months, and it's showing.
35 minutes in and O'Hara has been by far the worst player on the field for the US.
Definitely a close call. I think that loss scarred the team so badly that they haven't allowed a goal in a qualifying match since that game.
O'Sullivan was on a guest contract and has already played the 7 permitted matches, while Williams is with the USWNT for Olympic qualification.
I can only speak from past experiences, but Riley didn't take over the Flash until late in the offseason in 2016, and they ended up winning the...
For all the deserved crap the Best and Second XI selections have gotten, the other 3 awards have been the right choices.
The "higher seed hosts the final" was in place for the first two seasons. My guess is it was changed to a predetemined site because the Reign were...
O'Sullivan had a guest stint with Canberra last year.
I think Chicago might be a little gun-shy about trades with SkyBlue after both Johnson and McCaskill were disappointments.
She never played in an NWSL final until today, though. That's what I was referring to.
I'm hard-pressed to think of a single Chicago player that was better than "meh" today. Maybe Ertz, but she also loses points for running into...
North Carolina 2, Chicago 1 in regulation. I think an X factor today could be Chicago's lack of experience in NWSL finals. Some of the Courage...
North Carolina 1, Reign 0 in regulation Chicago 1, Weeds 2 in regulation I'm sticking to my "never predict Chicago to beat the Weeds" stance. I...
North Carolina 2, SkyBlue 0 Orlando 1, Reign 1 Utah 1, Houston 2 Weeds 2, Washington 1
Orlando 2, Washington 1
I wanted so badly to be wrong, and I hoped that Harvey would have learned from her near misses her last two seasons with the Reign. But it seems...
Fire Harvey. She sacrificed the future to win now and all she has to show for it is two failed playoff chases. And Utah is now stuck with a...
The Courage played like crap in the second half and deserved to lose.
Being gone for the WC shouldn't be a mark against Kerr like it should for the US players, since she only missed 3 games. And given how inept...
Washington 0, North Carolina 1 Chicago 2, Utah 0 Reign 1, Weeds 0 SkyBlue 1, Orlando 2
Maybe you'll get lucky and she'll be offered the US job (I hope she doesn't, because it would be a failure). This team desperately needs a...
The game management after the equalizer was terrible. That should have been the time to keep the foot on the gas and use the momentum to grab a...
The Reign might have the last playoff spot wrapped up before they even take the field again. Both Washington and Utah play the day before, and are...
I don't think any USWNT player should be in consideration for awards. They just missed too much time for me to accept any of them getting an award...
The Reign have been overdue for goals all season. They should have about 10 more goals this year than they actually do have. Everyone jokes about...
