Depending on who scores 🤔

Honestly, this was the matchup I wanted (and predicted) since the draw came out. Seeing the Dutch defense underwhelm all tournament, I like the US’s chances for chaos against them. Of course, the Dutch are just as capable at creating their own chaos, but I think the US are better. Anything can happen, though.

Your mind. Wow.

No, you’re right. She does.

Such a shit headline. Naeher was clearly the best American keeper all Cup. I’m critical of her, but when she’s on, she’s a fucking beast.

Press deserved more minutes all WC and this match proved why. Maybe Pinoe wouldn’t have had a supposed day-to-day hamstring injury if Ellis used Press more.

Dunn is way fitter than KO, so I’m not surprised there. Also, Krieger is a natural RB (the only natural OB on the team).

Lads, it’s Engerland.

Calling Ali Krieger arrogant is, quite simply, ridiculous. People blew that quote WAY out of proportion.

I wonder if Sue is allowed to travel with her injury. She should totally be there for the semis and whichever final (I ain’t jinxing shit).

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?

If she fucks up another Olympics I swear to goddess...

FUCK YEAH. WHO RUN THE WORLD? THE GALS DO! FUCK FRANCE AND FUCK ENGLAND NEXT.

That Spain game was a mess. Ellis is allergic to making timely subs. She did it in the France game, too. I honestly don’t get her coaching philosophy.

I cannot wait for Jill to get fired.

I could think of a couple, but with two of the captains (Pinoe and Morgan) and the elder stateswoman (Krieger) saying no fucking way, they’d be stupid to consider it.

To your point about scoring, I agree that teams are better and matchups are harder! I guess my thing is with the finishing. Graham Hansen was fed every single ball in the box from her teammates, and still couldn’t score or barely got it on frame. It’s one thing when a team demolishes Thailand or Jamaica, it’s another…

The more I watched Norway, the more I realized they were at their ceiling (and I wish I mentioned it sooner). This wasn’t anything a Hegerberg or two could fix. They only used 14 out of their 23 players all tournament, I think. They were never very speedy, always had defensive lapses (their goalkeeper was their MVP…

And yet Heath and even Dahlkemper are capable. Press and Davidson off the bench, too. Ugh. Probably more like Pinoe takes the PKs.

Hope crowned Naeher as her successor, and even though she went out on bad terms, the position has been Naeher’s. That’s leaving out a ton of stuff, though. Harris is more of a sweeper keeper. She’s quick to come off her line and can put herself in situations that makes her saves harder than she has to be, but she’s a…
