    Ertz has stopped 3 promising attacks.

    We know historically that US fitness often saves the day. Will be interested to see if Sweden can keep it up.

    I changed my mind. It was true in the first 20 minutes, but at this point, I'll say we're playing terribly. Hopefully, it changes in the last 20-30 minutes, but 2 goals down is a big ask.

    Now I'm hoping Ertz doesn't get injured in this losing affair.

    Why is no one making a run when Rapinoe turned towards goal there?
    The team is asleep, still recovering from jet lag.

    Hats off to Sweden. They were prepared tactically and mentally.

    We've seen it before in bits and pieces, but Sweden has made it their game plan to send numbers and take advantage of slow defensive reactions from the US. US is not shifting. This stuff should be basic, but it does not get exposed much because the US normally plays better in the midfield or has more offensive output.
