Rose is back on the field after a lengthy concussion check. She did not look good in the shots on the sideline. I thought she should have been substituted.
Maybe if this is meaningless friendly and we're going for youth anyway, you take Lavelle out just to be safe.
Australia with a lot more of the ball now, but the US is no longer pressing high much. They're sitting back, and waiting for their chances to go forward. No matter what the outcome of this game is (and now Australia with a good chance), I'm loving watching some new players and seeing Davidson and Williams be the leaders on their lines.
Definition of missing a sitter by Simon. It could have easily been 1-1 right now. I did not like how Sonnet was giving the endline there and allowed that cutback pass.
That was a fun first half. I do like the beginning of a WWC cycle, and what a great learning experience this game is for the less capped players.
Casey Murphy has been great as goalkeeper. The rest of the team? Well, it looks like the youth movement is running into some difficulty.
