What did you say the strategy was?

They're right though, China are still clearly losing lol

Eh, can't think of any team that wouldn't celebrate being awarded a pen. Especially as a potential lifeline back into a game.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

She also routinely attracts 2-4 defenders and casually knocks the ball away as if they aren't there.

Recorded USA portugal, woke up this morning and made sure to not spoiler myself, and regret wasting ~105 minutes of my life on that nonsense.

Sophia smith is awfully quiet in games for someone with a full length TV commercial about how good she is.

Oh well on to groups sans Lavelle so they will definitely get battered by Sweden

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
Just watched my DVR of the USWNT/Portugal game and holy gently caress, what complete and total garbage that was.

Absolutely horrendous performance. They deserved for that 91st minute shot from Portugal to be buried in the back of the net.

And if they get past Sweden, it’s likely Japan.

This US team needs to get a lot better really quickly.

Pretty much, and doubly so watching it right after Japan’s clinical dismantling of Spain, tough to go from precisely coordinated sophistication to “gently caress it, just kick the ball around and someone will figure it out”

The more I think about it, the more I think that not having Sauerbrunn captaining the team or either Press or Swanson finishing attacks are even bigger problems for the USWNT than Vlatko (who, to be clear, still sucks).

It's not helping when your top goalscorer looks absolutely terrible and off the pace and your second highest goalscorer is Megan loving Rapinoe

don't lose sight of them getting absolutely overrun in midfield and having no long progressive passing to speak of!

They desperately need to move Ertz back into midfield and just try to figure it the gently caress out at the back.

What the US really needs is to get thrown out of the tournament asap (1/16th will do) so that the focus can be put on the actually good teams.
