I hadn't realized this tournament was happening! Glad I found out in time to catch a couple of games. USA vs Brazil is starting right now. Here's the schedule for the rest: - Argentina vs Canada, 2/21 at 6 pm Eastern - Canada vs Brazil, 2/24 at 4 pm Eastern - USA vs Argentina, 2/24 at 7 pm Eastern Also glad to see we're not starting Carli Lloyd today. I don't think she has it at the international level anymore. edit: GODDAMN THAT DEFENSE FROM DUNN surf rock fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Feb 21, 2021 |

I love most of this team, but I just have so much fun watching Rose with the ball. edit: I think Alex Morgan flops sometimes, but I also think that she gets the absolute poo poo knocked out of her virtually every match. I wonder if she's just like constantly talking trash or something; it's wild. surf rock fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Feb 21, 2021 |

Alright, the draw against the Czechs was kind of embarrassing; we gotta do better today. I am glad that we're trying out younger talent though. Dropping almost everyone 31+ feels a little extreme, but this is the right time to try it. edit: we take own goals! edit: twice! surf rock fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Feb 20, 2022 |

AND MEWIS MAKES FIVE What a positive trendline for this tournament: a 0-0 draw, followed by a 5-0 win aided by three own goals, ending with a clean 5-0 win. I don't feel that our defensive performance has been strong enough to merit the total tournament shutout, but hell, I'll take it!

Fun stat from here: https://theathletic.com/news/uswnt-haiti-concacaf-w-championship/pIUC3Mj0Qpjq/ With the victory, USWNT has now won 27 consecutive matches in CONCACAF tournaments dating back to 2010, outscoring opponents 139-0 in those matches. Well.

Dang, two goals lost to offsides already. Also, watching the replays of the second actual goal, the arc of the Jamaican defender's leg seemed to be entirely inside the goal, so I have to imagine the ball did cross the line before she kicked it out. edit: ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE surf rock fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Jul 8, 2022 |

Goddamn, glad Naeher caught that clean to end it. Not an amazing tournament, but the USWNT did what it needed to. Personally, I'd like to see Rodman and Purce get a little more time going forward.

Well, hard to complain too much about a 3-0 tournament victory with 5 goals for and 1 goal against. Overall, I liked our attack and our goalkeeping. Our midfield was kind of tragic and our defense didn't feel very consistent. Didn't think Sanchez, Kornieck, Sonnett, or Lynn Williams looked very good. However, Swanson is turning into an absolute dynamo, and I still think a healthy Rose is the most valuable player in women's soccer.

Kind of a dreadful start for the USWNT against Ireland. I don't really doubt that they'll win the game, but there's not a lot to write home about here yet.

poo poo, did Mal hurt her neck in that collision? She's not really moving; that looked like an American football injury.  edit: oh thank god she's up. I've been traumatized by neck poo poo ever since the Packers lost Nick Collins and Jermichael Finley in rapid succession to career-enders. surf rock fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Apr 8, 2023 |

That was kind of a brutal two games even without factoring in Mal's injury. This team is, uh, not inspiring a ton of confidence heading into the summer.

Always happy to watch a match where Purce is thriving. The podcast she had with Katie Nolan last year totally sold me on her. Also this match could easily have been 9-0

OK, through 30 minutes the USWNT squad is looking real rough. Rose's chemistry seems off with the others, and I'm not sure what's going on with Sophia Smith either. I mean, I don't think anybody's looking great but we are just don't seem capable of sustaining an attack at the moment. edit: and that's what happens! surf rock fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Feb 27, 2024 |

I'm not even sure this is Mexico playing great. I think they look fine and the goal was nice (and I think that's given them a bit of a confidence boost that's making them play more aggressively since then), but this seems to be a lot of the USWNT just falling over itself. I'm expecting multiple subs at halftime. They gotta change something in the front third. edit: okay the degree to which we were struggling to do a throw-in was just sad. Also, Rodman, you gotta take a shot on your breakaway. surf rock fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Mexico should have won this by 4-0. I can't point to a single player's performance tonight as good. Just brutal in every respect. That new coach can't arrive soon enough. Also, I didn't mention it before, but Becky Sauerbrunn seems finished. The total lack of offense tonight was ugly and made me focus on the front third, but the back third seemed completely lost too. Honestly, that game was so bad that I almost expect a story to come out tomorrow about how most of the squad got food poisoning day-of or something. It's hard to believe a lineup change caused that.
