WWC19 USA v CHILE June 16, pre/pbp/post

or left. It's all about perspective.

 

Pugh has, for some reason, been doing a lot of defensive work in the attacking half. Also the defender(s) playing her have been a couple of Chile's best today.

 

Talking about perspective, what does BDL mean?

 

There you go

 

It wouldn't have really felt right if it went in anyway.

This is gonna sound stupid but the free kick might have actually worked out better for us.

 

The foul against Lloyd was in the box.

 

On a holding foul, where contact starts is irrelevant. If the hold continues into the PA (which includes over the line) it’s a PK.

 

Looked like more of a shove to me than a hold.

 

In the stadium rooting for USA but chanting CHICHICHI-LÉLÉLÉ, VIVA CHILÉ

 

That is the law but the law don't matter when faced with what people believe the law should be.

 

Not a smart play by Long making that an easy card.

 

Pugh is going to need a lot of ice.

 

5 minutes of stoppage

 

How did Rasheed Wallace get in here?

 

I don't want Long to get any more minutes. All she does is pass back and commit stupid fouls.

 

The US really wants to use the offside trap on these set pieces. They're living dangerous especially with Naeher looking less than confident.

 

Not necessarily Long's fault to be in that situation, but she is fortunate not to have a second yellow.

 

She needs more touches?

 

Long’s lucky she didn’t pick up a second yellow. That would have been quite a feat.

 

Final

USA 3 Chile 0

On to the next one and deciding the group.

 

How we doing on goal differential?

 

Has Lloyd taken a penalty for the US or Sky Blue between the Scotland miss and today's miss?

 

I don't know if we'll see a better save this World Cup than Endler on Press' header.

 

Why play Lloyd 90 minutes?
I hope that missed PK doesn't get in her head.
Although, she's known for getting mentally tougher as the matches get bigger.

 

I don’t know... Vanina Correa had a couple spectacular saves.
