There is nothing wrong with having and using speed. I, and every even moderately successful youth coach, use speed when it is available and we try...
It is not. But it is very direct play. Of course there is nothing inherently wrong with direct play except many people seem to think that even...
I do not remember even one goal she scored but i do remember a number of misses. Just because I do not remember them does not mean that she did...
This is kind of progressing/regressing in the direction of being a "best forwards of all time when in their prime" type thread. However, taking...
Or, "Each generation hangs from the gallows constructed by those before." :D That seems to fit what happens with the USMNT quite often,
while true and exactly what I keep saying in the form "You choose the best players you can find and then design a simple system to use them." It...
I thought the award was delayed at least an hour or two. I almost never watch post game or half time or pre game as 99% of what is said and done...
Yeah, I had a brain fart and actually forgot that a PK win is not a win. And, no, I do not think the venue had much effect on this match and...
The two most relieved people in the stadium are Dunn and Rodman.
USA with two friendly wins in a row. We were lucky but sometimes lucky is better than good.
Sonnett hits a VERY bad PKs all even again.
I wonder why Rodman was chosen for the first shooter. She misses, OK she hit the goal but the ball was so weakly and poorly hit that a zombie...
Its a shootout. I actually have some concern but i think our shooters are better than Canada's. It is actually allowed in the FIFA regulations...
I do not think we will have extra time. These are just friendlies and I have never seen extra time in friendlies.
Well we have a very soft penalty. Why am i not surprised? Canada is VERY good at drawing penalties. I do not think VAR, if used, reverses that...
I mentioned it earlier but this match is being played without the interference of VAR and that makes even the first half a MUCH more watchable...
Shaw does not even get an assist for that beautiful, Messi like, pass to Rodman to set up the goal. Too bad, she really played well.
I said Rodman would make a difference. A great ball from Swanson to Rodman and Rodman draws all the defense to her and lays a perfect ball to...
Now we might actually win this thing. It's 11 v 11 for the rest of the match. YIPPEE
The Canadian defense is not particularly fast but Morgan can't outrun any of them.
We seem to need an enforcer as well. I think Rodman would be a good choice. Smith gets a good goal. I honestly thought the attack was dead but...
But that is not likely to happen. Morgan is the USA staff's darling so she will not be subbed unless someone actually shows some intelligence.
Canada deservedly has a 1-0 lead at the half and the USA is very lucky it is not more. Well we have no VAR to slow things down in these...
I did not catch any of the pregame, is Swanson hurt or is she just being rested a bit? If she is not hurt we need both her and Rodman if we are to...
You might be over rating the play. A "C" or "C-" team might be a better rating.
