That means Ertz will be playing the entire match. I am concerned, the match is tight and I think she has a knock. But you will never hear it from her. I think if a foot was hurting too much to run on she would just chew it off and continue playing. Oh btw: Nice header for Horan. The US actually has too many weapons.
Sure is going well for Mallory Pugh in a game where she desperately needs to look good. First a beautiful pass to Lloyd that absolutely should have been a goal. Then a nice corner kick for Horan's goal.
Yep. Her only real mistak was early when she beat two and then tried to take on another. When you beat two you generally should pass because you have just created a numbers advantage. But she had not settled into the match at that time.
And so it ends.US 3 Japan 1. I do not think anything got settled for the roster. Many players on the outside looking in looked real good, Short, Pug and Williams at least did many positive thinks and players that are in but on the bubble did nothing to hurt themselves. The only play that I think hurt her chances a little bit was Lloyd. She just was got very good today.
Also predictable in her situation to immediately try to do too much. She had to be feeling a lot of pressure to impress Vlatko today. Would she ever get another chance?
my biggest take away from this tournament is that we have trouble with possession teams. We scored late against Spain for the win but we werent that great. Japan gave us all they had and I think both England and Spain played them better than we did. France is another one that troubles us. We have to learn how to play these kind of teams better and I really hope the coach is aware of this
Is Carlos Cordeiro at this match? Is he participating in the trophy presentation? He might want to find the back door...
Yep. His little groveling apology letter was too little too late to have much meaning. He does not really care about anything related to the women under his umbrella unless he has said or done something that might hurt his power in US soccer. In otherwords, he cares about nothing except holding on to the power he has.
I'm pretty sure they shouldn't have held this match today, I'm willing to bet someone at that stadium will test positive for the virus, all of the other sports leagues have been cancelled.
