US player of the half parlow US always look like scoring but have often been indecisive on the final ball the halftime news update girl on the german TV station is ridiculously hot
WELL WELL WELL .... USWNT finishing has been and Bivens is getting smoked by the Germans.... Why did April play Bivens over Pearce???
"abby mishits' Forgets dashes. "the halftime news update girl on the german TV station is ridiculously hot" Get a name. Is that on ZDF? Anyway, both teams are fairly even so far. very solid. US has to finish. They aren't getting the best shots and seem a little hesistant too.
Phillips matchcast isn't sophisticated enough to tell me the formation. 4-3-3? Can anyone help a poor, ESPN-deprived person out?
If USWNT wants to win this game, they have to improve in the mid field, and HAmm has to step up a big NOTCH
Yes, it's a 4-3-3. US is putting on some good pressure, they've had some chances, but the finishing is lacking. Come on ladies, time to find the back of the net.
