Albert has turned into Notre Dame Albert (at least with her left foot) and angered a lot of USWNT fans this past week. (I'm more disappointed than...
Seems like Endler made a similar play to Naeher vs Gilles at the Gold Cup, but unlike Naeher, she didn't give up a PK.
MRAD12 will like Albert’s great goal for PSG today. Scored plenty like that for Notre Dame; first like that for PSG.
The team gets the ball to her in great positions, and apart from a few off matches this season, she's been very clinical/productive with her...
PSG have shown the serious upside of proactive/urgent goalkeeping their last two UWCL matches. Chawinga's goal vs Bayern came off a Picaud drop...
Speaking of refereeing, once the Hacken player moved to chase down De Almeida in that first half incident, should the ref/lines official have...
And Unkel had quite a long thread on X (Twitter) justifying the call. She stands by her analysis though.
The likelihood to control the ball wasn't 100%? That's a serious understatement in my opinion. To me, the likelihood of Anvegard fully regaining...
Agreed. And she might have scored that late shot against a not quite as good keeper. Not sure if it was Kafaji or someone else who played the pass...
It was soft, but I can't really argue against the call. I'm more frustrated with Samoura, who certainly had rough moments to go along with quality...
I totally meant to say Chelsea-Ajax was the tie least likely to provide an upset.
Now, I do think a stricter ref could have easily given Samoura a second yellow for a bit of time wasting. She got lucky there.
No, she didn't. She had a heavy touch that made Samoura the favorite to get the ball. Any push happened after the heavy touch in my opinion.
Yellow. Do we really think that was a clear goalscoring opportunity? The ball was out of her reach, and if Samoura had been much smarter, she...
Cat Macario scored again right after coming on for Chelsea. She scored for Arsenal, but that kind of makes it more remarkable.
I mean it wasn't in the right net today, but Macario continues her trend of scoring right after coming on.
NWSL matches are known for being tough/very competitive across the board.
Bringing up PSG's starting midfielders arguably being better than the US' options doesn't go against your point, so that's my mistake. One thing...
I think Hegerberg is definitely an all-time great striker. That's a big part of why I think she should get more criticism regarding her historical...
Not to say she didn't earn all her minutes, but she's in the middle of her club season unlike every other midfielder bar Horan. Also, PSG's...
In fairness, she's done well versus top teams in the UWCL. I think the French league has gotten stronger, but yeah, it's been historically on the...
Entertaining episode. I mean I'm glad that Naeher was pissed, but she shouldn't have been. That kind of play doesn't get called enough as a PK...
Hegerberg’s numbers and major success with Lyon give the understandable world class impression. But man, she has gotten a lot of leeway when it...
I think your point is stronger regarding Horan. Albert's a lot younger and not a first-choice starter for PSG. I am surprised though that they...
That almost a week break between Mexico and Colombia was weird. I think the US benefitted a lot from that. I don't necessarily disagree, but...
