Tokyo Olympics: USWNT vs Australia, July 27, pre/pbp/post

"Only 6 of them off" lololol Julie Foudy

 

Six, count 'em, six US players caught offside. Good trap by Australia but simple laziness by the US.

 

noticed Kristy Mewis & Lynn Williams are on the bench, why on earth not use them?

 

"They're at walking pace now."

Yep.

 

Now we have begun the "Lets hit long floated crosses into the box and hope something happens" part of the game.
It does not work but let's keep trying as it "might" work sometime.

 

We are very good right now at hitting the goalkeeper's belly button.

 

Heath and Horan in for Rapinoe and Mewis

 

That was surprising. Didn’t think she has pace.

 

Two for one. That is a good sub!

 

or Redbull or Monster...lol

 

I WANT A GOAL LADIES!!

 

The press is maybe slightly higher.

 

It isn't.

 

I have an idea. Let's pass it aimlessly around the back and then kick it over the end line so we can defend Australia again and again.

 

Press and Morgan not cutting it today.
One of them needs to come out.

 

That set piece ball by T was our best pass all match.

 

I like that Ellis had the team doing that all over the field.

 

Good card for Rose.

 

Very clean tackle from Lavelle...

 

That missed header by Horan was the goal I was looking for.

 

They're not trying to push this one at all. This is just resting legs.

 

There is no such thing as a good card. It just shows that your 1v1 defense is lacking in this case.

 

Lloyd and Williams for Press and Morgan.
