Not to mention that the 99ers won the WC on home turf.
Agreed. Also, let's not forget the penalties earned against Germany in the semis at the 2015 WC and the one this year against the Netherlands. She...
I think that this is the crux of it. We all have our own belief systems, but conduct ourselves somewhat differently in our workplace . For...
Again, there's a lot of conjecture here. Just because someone on a fan forum states that the only reason Long is on the team is to make Morgan...
But we're all guessing that this was the case. I highly doubt that Ellis blackballed Hinkle under the circumstances you noted above. From what I...
Even if we assume that Hinkle is the best player at her position, this is still a team sport. What we saw in this world cup was 23 individuals (as...
I haven't chimed in much during the USWNT world cup run, but they were phenomenal during the entire tournament. I've seen lists where people...
Can we extend that to the men's game as well?
Rose Lavelle is an amazing talent, but she needs to take her game to the next level. If she can make that one final pass (instead of taking a shot...
If Pinoe is fit for Sunday's match I would definitely start her. Instead, I would replace Heath with Press. The front line of Press / Morgan /...
I think the problem is that all 10 field players are condensed into a very small footprint near midfield, with our backs playing a high line. The...
It's not so much luck, but having success early. The US has taken the lead within the first 12 minutes of every match, which has translated to...
Especially when you compare it to shots on goal. The US lost the possession battle against France and England, but had more shots on goal. If 65%...
I think people have to realize that a lot of it is gamesmanship. You can clearly see that was Phil Neville's game plan before the match. After the...
The US has actually played good attacking soccer when the game is tied against strong opponents. However, once they take the lead, they're...
The difference is that the US men's national team plays that way when the game is tied, while the women only do it when they have the lead.
In some ways this team reminds me of the 2002 Brazilian men's WC team. Even though they had tremendous talent, they still played conservatively at...
I felt the same when the 3rd US goal against France and Cameroon's goal against England were called back. Blame the existing rule, not the referee...
It was definitely not intentional since her head was down when she took the shot. She has passed the ball in similar situations in the past.
Random thoughts: 1.) Really happy for Christen Press. She's had a positive attitude this entire year, and stepped up big when the chips were...
Here's another image with the ball clearly in the air and Morgan is still even with the Brazilian defender. [ATTACH] With respect to your other...
Thank you, I can't believe I missed that.
[ATTACH]
I froze the image as the ball leaves Pinoe's foot, Morgan is definitely on side. Can someone tell me how I can post an image?
McCaskill had a really frustrating first half. She did well getting wide and chesting the ball down nicely, but her decision making after that...
