While I know it relies on an ally to provide a finishing blow, The Squad bringing in someone like Katie Porter would be a masterstroke.

When you have an LFC supporter and a City supporter agreeing, you done messed up Luis. Enough with the VAR hate.

I do believe that both you and the author are also forgetting the infamous Aaron Williams vs. Charles Poole 7 Days in Hell match. Indubitably.

+1 Rampage

Just had Popeye’s yesterday.  Guess I get to go back as well!

Maybe we should introduce you to Akinfenwa.  I am sure he’d be very interested in your hot take.

I really don’t care, do yew?

Another body of water, and Billy would have definitely called this guy a Pool Boy.

+1 Fred McGriff

Agreed.  She didn’t have a great game in the quarters (on a very short rest), but I have thought she has been the best mid (by a mile) over the tourney for us. 

Lucy Bronze is their best player after all.

Agreed. The clearances were weak, and a product of not simply keeping your head up. The entire back four was guilty of that, along with Ertz and Horan. Dunn and Sauerbraun were especially bad about giving up possession through rushed or inaccurate passes late in the game. Dunn can close down a wing, no doubt, but her…

Ever since we “struggled” in the face of Spain’s rough play, it is clear that is the only way opponents have felt they can compete. England did not acquit themselves well, after having such a strong fluid offense last time out.

Agreed, though knowing Ellis, she would have thrown Carli up top when even coming in as a sub against tired opponents she has looked sllloooowwww. My issue is the Mewis sub. While Mewis didn’t have a great game last time out, she has been incredible this tournament. Horan is a good like-for-like sub for her, though I…

Amsterdam = Red Light District

Why send him?  Because the English are really fond of the band Real Life.

Jason Vargas needs a hug.

Lavelle weighs about 90 pounds and took cleats to her thigh.  Forgive her for trying to take an awkward step to stay up but ultimately failing to do so. 

Dahlkemper has been rock-solid all tournament (especially relative to Sauerbraun), so can’t imagine dropping her. Ertz didn’t look the same today so maybe that injury is still nagging her. I’d say bring her on as a sub in the midfield after we want to hold a late lead. And yes, that midfield should be Lavelle, Mewis,…

One upside is I think it brings attention to a rule that maybe needs fixing. They now allow horizontal movement for goalies, and only part of one foot having to be on the line, so why not just explore ideas like widening the line to allow a bit more flexibility for the goalies?  Goalies need time to get away from…
