SheBelieves Cup - March 1 thru March 7

Agreed, though to do that, we need to get the ball though the midfield quicker. Part of that is more deliberate passing, and part of that is Colombia's physical disruption.

 

Girma off due to calf issue. Rudd on.

 

Second half underway.

 

That was some really good defending by Rudd on Caicedo.

 

Moultrie and Shaw talking to Hayes getting read to come on. From the hand gestures, I think Shaw is coming on for Sentnor.

 

And Hayes does not look happy about it.

 

Sears and Heaps also coming on.

Lavelle, Rodman, Yohannes, and Sentnor all coming off.

 

Aaaah! Quick shot! Quick shot!

 

That's what is needed by A Thompson.

 

Very smart run by Heaps though the middle. A Thompson needed to see that and get her the ball.

 

Agreed, though I think Joseph should have been on for Sentnor.

 

Disagree. That was A Thompson not finding her and the ball being slowed up. I think Heaps made the right run, even on continuation. Yeah, she was offside, but it sets the expectation of what should be seen by the other players.

 

A quick shot is not something they have be talking all match. Yeah, the show was wide, but she let Colombia know what to expect, which then sets up the cutback to the line.

 

Like how lively Shaw has been since coming on.

 

That was some nice passing between A Thompson, Sears, Shaw and Heaps. That one Heaps needed to watch the offiside.

 

She's got great game intelligence, but when the match is quick, she's a hindrance. Today she fits right in.

 

And now Foudy is on the movie segment of the commentary.

 

Noticed that Caicedo has had to do a lot more defensive duties for Colombia this half. It's really minimized their attack.

 

How did Moultrie get a shot off in that sequence?
