January 24 and 27- Paraguay and Chile

I need Alyssa flying down the wings

 

I do not think we are actually missing much speed but we do seem to be playing with fear of making mistakes so we are slow to go forward. But we do go pretty fast when retreating.

 

Occasional offside is to be expected but almost every time there is an offside the player lost concentration. I do kind of think that offside is as big a negative every much as serious as not marking players near the goal on a corner.

 

For a friendly this referee is horrible. She seems to be calling things like it is a competitive CONCACAF match.

 

3 Matches vs. Japan scheduled for mid-April.

 

damn it, best chance yet.

 

Turner scores. I thought she was going to be offside.

 

Half

United States of America 1 Paraguay 0

They're definitely playing like they are ready for preseason. Rodman should have multiple assists. Moultrie finally got an assist to Turner.

 

1-0 at the half. I am disappointed as we seem to not really want to score but rather all we are trying to do is not make mistakes. If this continues we could lose 1-2 on a fluke goals of some kind.

 

doesn’t need to be that much of a fluke - their striker is good. But it will be hard for Paraguay to build any extended attack unless we back off.

 

Does anybody else's feed break up every time something exciting happens. I am watching TNT through Sling and the feed is rock stable except for brief times when something exciting happens. It is almost like one of the cables or pieces of equipment is reacting badly to increased noise levels or vibration that happens from excitement.

 

Half-time thoughts - -
COMPLETE AND TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!!!!

 

Croix Bethune on for Turner.

 

Second half has begun.

 

I wonder where, in the chain, Sling and Xfinity pick up their feeds. It is quite noticeable, for me every time the crowd get loud.
