Agreed that Dunn can't defend at an elite level.  Horan would be nice right now

The French are abusing  Dunn's side of the defense.  USA has a challenge tonight in Paris -- France is playing better so far.

They're going to play like this and frustrate us all the way to the World Cup Championship aren't they? If they make it there, ugh...

Yeah, disappointing performance by USA so far.... they are fortunate to be ahead 1-0.

so france has more of the ball and the play is more on our side of the field, but i don't feel like france's chances were dangerous, we're not chasing the game, and if ellis makes the right subs we could break it open.  our spacing is better, and i would rather see this type of game than what we did against spain.

 France took it to us that half. Lucky to be up 1-0

Lucky to be winning a game in which the opposition has zero shots on goal.

You guys remain the best.

I counted 3, but what do I know.

The US really needs a midfielder who can control possession. Is there one anywhere on the team? Perhaps maybe a substitute who is arguably the best midfielder in the world the coach inexplicably refuses to start?

Dunn is a really bad defender.  It can’t possibly be the case that she’s our best option at left back, can it?  She defends like a forward, which is a horrible tactic for a fullback.

My mind.  It's pretty fucking boggled right now

We're completely outclassing them on our* end of the pitch, to where 2 goals would end this. i.e. 2-0 - not 2 more. 

The issue is that we're spending too much time on that end of the pitch and our attack has been sloppier than a fat 19 year old losing her virginity. 

Tighten things up and this is 3-0 going away, we'll see you Tuesday, England.

That wasn't good Dunn...

 

WTF is Ellis thinking playing her back there? Dunn has skills and as an attacker with her speed and leg she can make a difference.  But there's really no one else in the country better than her on the back line?

Agree... there was at least 1 shot on goal by France in 1st Half 

Not sure why you're trusting an aggy to count. There was at MOST 1.

Don't go there.

Watching a different match I guess.  Except for a few runs by USA, the better play tonight has been by France so far.

Yeah now would be the time for a couple of subs...Dunn was attacking like hell right there and then made the mistake of passing to Lavelle.

She made the mistake of passing the ball behind Lavelle. It was not a good pass.

Alex Morgan has looked like hammered dogshit this match 

Well she's been hammered by the past 4 opposing teams' defenses so she's probably playing banged up. She's look good in flashes today and is directly responsible for the only goal so far.
