Canada completely bunkering in against Mexico early here.

9 minutes of stoppage should be illegal

 

How do you feel about 15?

First time getting to see the USWNT this tournament and yikes this is rough. Not sure if i saw consecutive passes on the ground the entire second half.

I have never understood why women pk takers don’t go high every single time, like Pino just did. Low and to the side is so much easier for female keepers to cover.

omg, I can't believe the Mexican fans were doing a homophobic chant?! How can it be that the same slap on the wrist keeps having no impact?

Playing outdoors in Austin, in July, is ridiculous.

 

Feeling much better about our keeper situation. Turner rules

 

Gotta think Hoppe has helped himself more than any other player than Turner? Busio has shown some flashes but looks like he needs development to play with the first team.

Miles Robinson is on that list too.

agreed. regardless of result, I think Berhalter got exactly what he wanted out of this tournament.

frankly, penalty takers should need to think less. 80% of these men and women can drill the ball top corner at will until the pressure is on and they start worrying about what the keeper is doing etc. Honestly, how often do you think a top player misses from that spot with no defenders in front of them in the run of play? Rapinoe's is the perfect example. ice.

After reading this, I did not expect the completely dominant first 75 minutes (I didn't watch the rest) by the USWNT. They looked back to normal to me.

I thought we’d see Williamson, but Bello is a surprise. Not that Vines has lit it up.

 

 

Going to need a lot from Hoppe.

[bukie]

The midfield is non existent so far, and as a result the US can't keep any kind of possession going forward.

[wolf stansson]

Imagining Christian Pulisic on the end of these counter attacks instead of Paul Arriola.

[bukie]

Sands really trying to get Mexico a goal here early in the second half.

[wolf stansson]

Gyasi you horsefeathers

 

Arriola is such a spaz in front of goal

[wolf stansson]

Hoping for penalties so Turner can win it for us.

As someone who didn’t watch a lot of soccer until a couple years ago, this feels significantly rougher than Premier League/Euros/etc. Is that par for the course for USA/mexico?

Yes.

[bukie]

Busio and Gioacchino will hopefully settle in a bit here in ET. Killed a couple late opportunities with heavy feet there at the end of regulation.

[wolf stansson]

Acosta always plays out of his mind against Mexico. It’s incredible

[wolf stansson]

Blessings

Robinson is a damn warrior

That was really close on the offsides also.
