Tokyo Olympics SF: USWNT vs Canada, August 2, pre/pbp/post

DAMN IT

 

I don't like emergency sub....

 

Looks like Naeher hyper-extended her right knee. That looked painful. This sucks.
I really hope she's not done for the tournament.

 

Oh no.
Is she ok?

 

kashima stadium temperature 81 degree, 88% humidity, cloudy...

 

Too frantic, too impatient. US looks to knock out Canada in first few minutes. Can 't happen. We need to be more selective. More organized.

 

She's going to try to continue.

 

Hope Naeher is Ok

 

The US was ready to substitute Franch for Naeher, but Naehere is trying to stay in the game. I don't like this.

 

She's walking on it without any help. That's a good sign.

 

Naeher is still playing...made of steel...That's good news.

 

It's a lose-lose situation. If Canada score on Franch, people will blame Franch for being inexperienced and coming in cold, if they score on Naeher, they'll say she should've come out.

 

Can we expect like 10 minutes of injury-time at the end of 1st Half, now?

 

Suddenly USA gives up lots of possession...

 

Yep. Naeher needs to be substituted. I don't know why she would be attempting goal kicks.

 

Naeher is gone...

 

Shouldn't someone else have been taking the goal kicks?

 

Canada with quick passing to get out of USA pressure and pressing hard up top.
USA need more bodies coming back in defense or we're going to have problems.

 

I'm glad Naeher decided to come out, that's the best decision.

 

Now USA better wins in regulation time.

 

get well Naeher!

 

That foul from O'Hara was unnecessary.

 

Not to mention in only your 7th cap.

 

Seriously.

 

Vlatko will have to sub her off now. Can't risk a second.
