Spain wasn’t in that tournament. They would have proceeded the US in my opinion. It’s their gold medal to lose!

🤡🤡🤡

If Rose Lavelle is healthy, we need her on the Olympic team. She is one of the most creative women playing today.

We need to have healthy players and chemistry to be ready!

I hope so. We just need to be perfectly ready and stronger than all the other teams..

The US goalkeeper should have been red carded for taking out the Canadian player.

Trying to defend Mal, Soph, Trin, and Shaw all at the same time is hell on any defense. I would start those 4 upfront every game and let them build that chemistry. They looked amazing for the limited time we did see them together. Alex gotta come off the bench imo.

I dont see this team winning the Gold medal because the team just got a new coach and are still trying to find the right combo up front. They still dont have a dominant 6 player either. I do hope they can medal tho.

Fantastic dribbling display 🙄

They wasted the past year trying to force has-been and never-was instead of giving better players the opportunity to build cohesion. It’s too late now. I will not be surprised if the U.S. doesn’t make it out of the group stage. Maybe then they’ll realize it’s time to reform the front line so they can score goals. They will never get back on top until they take off the blinders and see what’s actually happening on the pitch instead of pretending.

Man soolte es nicht drauf ankommen lassen elf Meter zu schießen um weiter zu kommen, lieber von Anfang an schöne Tore zu schießen, das andere ist immer ein Risiko 😂

Heroic goal line clearance? The ball slowly rolled towards where she was standing and she fell over. Stop with the rubbish.

Nop

False sense of success only playing non-Euro teams the last year. They are not ready against the top teams in Europe. And injuries are not helping 😢

Emma Hayes is an amazing women’s coach! Hopefully, she can get enough time to get this team ready!

They don't win no medal

In the last Olympic U.S. lost, and World Cup lost too. In order to always win, most of the players need to change their diets. They are eating very wrong some of them. Lindsey Horan answered me my suggestion and you can see now how much weight she lost and how fast is she now. Specially changing her breakfast.

Of course that was Canada’s plan about Smith. They saw her starting and neutralized her. Putting her on the wing with not a lot of speed next to her only made that easier. Both Rodman and Swanson are faster than Morgan and Shaw. Happy Twila got it right in the 2nd half for both Smith and Shaw.

Honestly US team is in the good shape now but still not enough if we face with Europe teams like Germany, Spain…. And just my opinion keep Lavelle as attacking midfielder

With the 4-3-3 arrange with good passes to fast running Smith would be worked for the U.S Women's Team

Not hating but those pens were trash

'PK's' hurts every time...also shocking pens

Did u know it’s called football? And a team of 15 year old boys beat this US team??? So you can hardly call it god mode when my son would do a pen better

All terrible penalties.

It will need a miracle to beat Spain. I will be very happy if US makes into the semi-final 👌👌

US should be smoking Canada, this penalty tie is not good.

US is falling behind. We still play morgan, sonnet, and dahlkemper and dunn, and naeher, when they should just retire from national team. Keep playing thr old gaurd, and we will keep falling behind. Not ready, we are ranked 4-5 in the world.

No. They aren't ready, Spain is on point and a strong contender for a repeat!

no

Sure the US team could take it all. BUY they won’t be the favorites this time. I do believe that at this time they indeed are the number 4 or 5 team in the world The major problem I see is this team in the last 3 years or so just doesn’t seem United. The team used to be a United sisterhood. From my observations there is much more dissension on this team then any time in the past. I would venture to say it’s political in nature, everyone seems to have a agenda to push that they put over team play. When you get a group of people together from all walks of life you just can’t agree on everything. Opinions cause judgment and arguing ! My solution is ladies have your agendas but keep out of team time. There should be no deep Discussions about political and moral points of view. Your business. Is to win games and only games. two cents from a fan !!

*I disagree with you about Morgan. She is not what she used to be. She misses a lot of opportunities to score and she is a hindrance for the fast forwards that this team have. She cannot keep up with Smith, Swanson, and Trinity Rodman. The team is better without Morgan.*

Thanks so much for your game analysis. I had read many reviews before yours. To your credit, yours is above and beyond any other that I had read. An incredible insight indeed. Beginning from the start of the game till the end is very spot on. I was an international soccer goalkeeper, and later on the college level, so i am able to match your views with appreciation. The only suggestion that I do have is that as you stated, there were issues in the first half. My observation was that they appeared over coached before the match started, which created a slight appearance of wanting to be perfect, indecisive, and nervous from the front line all the way to the defense. Cohesion requires some time for proper adaptation. Not to change the player positions and tactics weekly. Most of the front line, are mostly played out of positions from their different club assignments. That can be daunting sometimes with such wholesale changes every week. So, they do have to be thinking too much before they react, instead of simply reacting to what they are already accustomed to. A greater team would probably have scored two goals in that first half, which would have been difficult to recover from by the USWNT. Alyssa Naeher has been great indeed, going back to her World Cup appearance, of which she caught a penalty also in that series. In soccer goalkeeping, more so than other positions, longevity and experience counts a lot for decision making and confidence. She is reaping the rewards of both, and I can attest to that. She does however need to practice coming out of the goal a little better after the last 2 games. At this moment in time for the Olympics, a steady team combination should already be in place, barring injuries. The opportunity for that might still be lagging, which the She Believes Cup, Gold Cup should have resolved before that last game. Once again thanks so much for your analysis.

I watch FAWNL but I sadly couldn't bear to watch US team. Not after the drama they did with that Rapinoe bullshit. need more time before i could watch this team without being reminded of that.

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The Europeans are ahead.

What happened to Christian Press?

It's a big shame we can't view the game. Not all of us have a TV channel that shows it.

I would love to see USA play Spain….

*VAR - there was no VAR - would had disallowed the Japanese goal. It was clearly an offside goal, but it was a friendly match. Would the Japanese player have beaten Tierna Davidson by playing fairly? Not in your lifetime.*

My observations of this game.....I would have hoped to see more young players in action.....like Lily Johannes, Eva Gaetino......I said before and I'm still saying again....Jaedyn Shaw is the most talented player on this US roster, she is outright deadly from about 20-25 yds, The goal she scored is a testimony of her incredible talent......Coffey passed the ball to her and Jaedyn with one touch put the ball right in front of her right foot, putting herself in a scoring position....two touches (first touch putting the ball right in front of her right foot....and the second touch which it was her shot on goal) she scored a beautiful goal.....I watched the other attackers trying the same touches, but they never were able to put themselves in scoring position.....Horan comes to mind and Swanson also missed their chances, for they blew their first touch and never could put themselves in scoring position.... I say it again the center forward position should go to Jaedyn Shaw, that position belongs to her due to the incredible intuition, and impeccable execution following the first touch...... The other observation is.....the US team still misses a bunch of their chances, they better start scoring in a hurry, once Emma takes over she wants to see goals, not missed chances... I was disappointed watching this Japan team.....honestly I did expect a lot more from them, this team was just a shadow of last year's team......they scored early, but pretty much bunker mentality followed, thus surrendering the US team the initiative..... I hope I see the younger players in action in the second game.....especially now, that Naomi Girma is out, Eva Gaetino who plays for PSG should play, and I would love to see Lily Johannes at midfield as well.....and I hope the US team destroys this Canadian team, thus putting a stop of the whining after losing the last game against the US due to that sloppy field in the Gold Cup.......thx for my rant, and Go USA.....

Spain is dominating with an iron fist both in clubs and the national team, they just beat Belgium 0-7, I would like to see a video of yours about them

Fox had a beautiful game as well, she makes such a difference but is rarely talked about

Pls Upload the Full game Japan vs US girls❤
