There's a balance to be found. Mewis got forward, dribbling well several times. She fed Rapinoe in one instance and Megan did poorly with it. The very next time Mewis did that, she carried it central, eschewing Rapinoe.

We need more players to beat their opponent one-on-one, just like the men's team.

as you know, superior teams quite often earn PKs in matches.

i wouldn't worry too much about FRA. simply have to fade the incoming FRA VAR shenanigans.

some good points... but too late in the game to change from a 4-woman backline to a 3-woman backline imo.

Leaving the match now. Concur with most of the ref comments. Lavelle was high energy but man she has no clue what to do once she gets the ball in a remotely threatening spot. Rapinoe played well enough and was great late with situational awareness but she really was conserving energy early and not making runs she normally does. Morgan got roughed up the whole time but commanded a lot of attention.


France is gonna slaughter our backline on the counterattack. Match basically a pick’em

Think we'll be favorites judging by betting lines.

The Diani/Dunn matchup is key. Dunn is a converted LB and Diani was the most impressive player I've watched at this WC. Dunn probably has to play more defense than she would like which kind of seems like why even have Dunn on. I don't expect Ellis to replace her but I'll have my eye there the whole match.

France's back line is just as vulnerable as ours so I think USA -130 to advance is probably right.

if Dunn were to be replaced at left fullback for the FRA match, who would you choose to take her spot?: Sonnett, Davidson, or Krieger. i'm not sure what our depth chart is for outside fullbacks.

Dunn does some good things, but she does get caught out at times. also i don't think she closes fast or close enough on the wing just outside the box... gifting space for crosses to enter the box.

That was poor from my girl Asllani there.. so many options, and she futzes about on the ball and is dispossessed

Was gonna pull the trigger on a 0-0, but saw it was only paying +550 so I decided not to. It's probably even money now.

Canada's been the better side, if anyone's getting a goal before PKs, I like them to do it.

These gals should be more deliberate about getting the ball in the penalty area with all that that implies, Sweden just now with loads of possession around the perimeter of the box lol

Like just run at your defender, get in the box, fire a shot, hope for a foul or hand-ball

0.8 (+2 PKs) - 0.4

They had 4-5 players in the box, but noone interested in crossing it in.
