DrPhilly Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I watched the last 25 of the USWNT game today. They look old and tired at some of the key positions. Particularly both Rapinoe and Morgan look like they need to be put out to pasture. Very likely we get an immediate bounce in the knockouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we_gotta_believe Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 They've got youth in Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman, even Lavelle and Mallory (Pugh) Swanson are still fairly young, they just don't have a coach that knows wtf he's doing. Morgan is fine, she was the best player on the field against the Netherlands but she probably could've used a spell towards the end of that game, he just refused to use his subs which is real dumb. Not starting Lavelle was puzzling too when she's clearly the best midfielder. They can still beat Sweden but it'll be real tough without Lavelle and with a coach that is an absolute clown show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose suffered a knee injury in April vs. Ireland. That's why she came in as a sub at the start of World Cup, and she seemed to struggle some at the end of 90 minutes vs. Portugal. But yeah, she's the biggest playmaker US has right now. She's out on yellows vs. Sweden. US is still the stronger team, they have a deep bench, but somebody else has to step up to beat Sweden. At least somebody finally told Vlatko he's allowed to use his subs. So that's good, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, he's gotta be the worst manager in the team's history. I will say this though, if they do beat Sweden on Sunday, I still think they become the first soccer team ever to win 3 world cups in succession.

LacesOut Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 My feeling is that Sweden takes them out. Hopefully I’m wrong. I feel like they’ve struggled in all 3 of their matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should've blown the doors off of Vietnam, only getting 3 goals was a joke, and they were incredibly lucky to simply draw against Portugal, which they should've beat 3-0. Their best game was against the Netherlands, but still massively underachieving despite coming away with 1 point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPhilly Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The entire US team vibe just seems off. I think there is some internal trouble that hasn't surfaced yet. They just look like dog sheet. Sweden isn't a great top two side but they are just below that and they are very organized, disciplined, and consistent. They usually give the US trouble as well. It isn't a good matchup for the US even when the US are playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to the fact that she certainly wasn't a unifying figure in the locker room this time around and it is easy to make the case that she shouldn't have had a spot on the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we_gotta_believe Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Tough way to crash out. Literally by the slimmest of margins possible. Sweden's keeper was the hero of the game. She'll need to do it again against Japan too who are looking clinical against every time they've faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Rapinoe still there and with how self absorbed she is that she tried being the alpha in the room instead of handing off to the younger leaders. She shouldn't have made the squad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That issue can't have been good for team harmony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Four goals in four matches?? Wretched. But, conversely, the Defensive side only let in one goal over four matches. Yep Rapinoe should have NEVER been on this WC Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
