Horan is trash.

[alincoln 2390]

I’d love to see he pass completion %

[ztejas 44114]

We're too often unintelligent in attack. And it was an issue at the WC under a different coach. 

Think the current pool is lacking a little football IQ. 

[tokamak 6683]

Our midfield is not good. Rodman has to come back for the ball and carry it forward herself.

Perfect example there of Rodman just running into the defender 

[ztejas 44114]

Good fucking God Rodman.

[Braff Zacklin 13675]

Japan looking dangerous. US women too many touches in traffic, as per usual, instead of quick, decisive passing.

Agree.  Our front 3 seems very nervous and Horan keeps giving the ball away.  Lavelle and Albert have shown signs that they could open Japan up

Horan has been a turnover machine in the games I’ve watched. 

We’re too static overall. Need to start making runs and passing with anticipation. It looks like we’re terrified of losing possession.

This is the issue, it’s made even worse playing a team like Japan.   We have no midfielders that can create anything.

Every play should run through Lavelle. She’s the only one on this team who can open up the attack with brilliant, quick passes

[Ted Lange 16350]

Its like watching a NFL team it’s 3 excellent WRs but a donkey for a QB

[BrickHorn 18424]

Rose looking for passes and her forwards are just slowly backing into defenders like Shaq in the low post. Sigh.

What about a Bronco with donkey-like buckteeth?

Horan is certainly capable of it but she has sucked for the last 150 minutes

[tokamak 6683]

We need to get Smith’s lazy ass off the field. I started watching at halftime and I don’t think she’s touched the ball once. 

[alincoln 2390]

Need to bring Shaw in

[BrickHorn 18424]

Her touches and technique have just looked goofy as hell this tournament. She’s made lot of bouncing, slow passes, in addition to the turnovers.

[tokamak 6683]

For fucks sake Rodman

[ztejas 44114]

How do you have a first touch that bad?

[BrickHorn 18424]

Rodman is having a bad game. She’s otherwise been great in the Olympics.

[BrickHorn 18424]

A bright spot: Dunn has markedly improved her 1-on-1 defending. She looks like a different player.

[Ted Lange 16350]

 

[ztejas 44114]

Rodman sitting wide open it takes us 5 fucking hours to get the ball up then we turn it over. 

Get these gals some smelling salts or something jfc. 

[Ted Lange 16350]

WTF how was that not a foul 

[BrickHorn 18424]

No foul?!? That should have been a fucking yellow.

[alincoln 2390]

Ref is awful by the way

I wouldn’t be shocked if it was negative. 

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

how is it not a foul?

it's the US playing soccer

[elguapo 4620]

That’s 100% a foul ref is fucking us

[BrickHorn 18424]

Just now, alincoln said:

That was a terrible no-call.

[Ted Lange 16350]

Still only 1 SOG

[elguapo 4620]

Feels like we need to sub someone in that can bring some energy

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

we're getting cannonblasty

long-range strikes find frame when you are on the front foot not when 9 team mates are facing you back to goal

By energy I'm assuming you mean a functional knowledge of attacking football and ball progression. 

[Ted Lange 16350]

Lynn Williams time. I’d be tempted to take 1 of mids off for her. 

[BrickHorn 18424]

Regardless if the cause is a lack of knowledge or a lack of energy, our attackers need to start moving off the ball ASAP.

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

i think horan has to come off

she's not useful against small/fast teams

[WBT 20879]

Julie Foudy have a daughter on the bench or something?  I mean we do need to get some subs in but she's really beating that dead horse.

[ztejas 44114]

Smith get your ass up off the grass and play some soccer.

[BrickHorn 18424]

Albert’s touch today is as delicate as her social media posting.

Has this ref called a single foul on Japan?

[alincoln 2390]

Been waiting all game to post that?

[ztejas 44114]

Lavelle is the only non-defender playing with any moxie. Get her someone off the bench she can connect with.

[SquishMitten 10493]

Feels like Japan has 2-3 extra players on the pitch. We’re so slow and predictable it’s amazing they don’t have more steals

Need Shaw in there

[Hagbard Celine 11157]

nips are collapsing 3 and 4 defenders when we go down the left

[BrickHorn 18424]

Horan had the perfect opportunity to pass into a streaking attack and instead turned back to the center. wtf?

Two fouls on US, two fouls on Japan. He's been consistent ... in that he swallowed his whistle.

[Ted Lange 16350]

That cunt ref finally called a foul.  Shocked
