If you're going to be an unlikable team then you should at least win.

It took a while, but it looks like the rest of the world has finally caught up with the USA in women's soccer.

Boy that was a brutal way to go. Can't let another team survive like that.
This squad never really put it together. The game seemed too big for them in big moments. Will be interesting to see who the next coach is. Vlatko is not the one. |

May be for the better. Coach seems nice but is wildly out of his depth. Veterans got too smug. they should have passed the torch instead of trying to run it back. |

I was pretty disappointed in Sophia Smith bottling her big moment. On the bright side our keeper was amazing. |

Non US related that performance by the Sweden goal keeper was one of the best I have seen in a while.

Fourteen of the roster had never played in a world cup before and they were missing several key players through injury so it's no surprise that they weren't as dominant as previous years. They weren't great against Portugal but did have great chances to win. They were outplayed in the first half against Holland but battered them in the second half and should have won that game too.
The game today was tragic. Dominated from start to finish, dominated the shootout early and then collapsed. It's a beautiful game but days like today can be cruel. A new coach and the youngsters developing properly should see them bounce back fine in the next few years Imo. I don't think they have anything to worry about and winning the world cup every time was always unrealistic expecially when you're going through a transition period. It's gonna be interesting to see who wins it now. Last edited by UChieffyBugger; 08-06-2023 at 08:18 PM.. |

Having Rose Lavelle could have been the difference. In a game where the US put so many shots on frame, you know Rose would have had and created opportunities and she's pretty dead on.
That Swedish keeper though, what great performance. |

The squad selection had a lot of their hand forced. It's just puzzling why he gave so much favoritism to old and slow veterans and didn't use the youth on the bench that he had. Imagine if vlatko coached 22 year old Alex morgan in her first world cup. She would've never seen the pitch |

They got their pay and yet in spite of their dominance the US is at significant risk of losing players to Europe and have an underinvested pro league. Men don't care yet we feel the need to white knight them... They make a shitload in their pro careers and they recognize that growing the women's game is good for US soccer overall. But by all means, maybe we shoild be more American and lose to Europe on soccer development. It's too entrenched to change that for men's soccer, but there's no excuse for the US not to be dominating women's soccer.
