That's about as bad a game as a defender can have. Personally surrender 3 goals subbed off before half.
If you think this is all about the sun, then we don't have much to talk about.teddykgb said:
The first two goals were set pieces that had nothing to do with the sun. (Hell, they kept the ball down, so the sun couldn't have had an impact.). The third goal was aa misplayed header and a scorching volley from Holiday.
The fourth could have been sun-aided. Or not.
It wasn't totally the sun, but there's definitely an advantage for the attacking team in that situation. Minor, but it's there.
Of course I don't think that. As you said, these are world class players making youth league mistakes. I think it's pretty fair to wonder why and the sun can explain some of what we saw. The US deserves its lead and there were plenty of non sun related errors but Jesus dude, we just saw a keeper get chipped from midfield in the World Cup final.Average Reds said:
Edit: I just thought your response was silly. Being world class doesn't make the sun not shine

Come on, the sun didn't leave them unmarked.
On every goal but the Xabi Chip, Lloyd/Holliday were completely alone. Like he said above, the first two Lloyd goals were on the ground.
What is Rapinoe complaining about? She didn't get within a yard of the ball and took out the attacker. She's lucky it wasn't a yellow.
I'd say the third goal may have been affected by the sun. The defender tried to head a low ball without much pressure. Might have lost it in the sun until the last minute.URI said:

Is anyone else feeling like any time the ball goes in the box for either team that it's going to be a goal?
There's no way she finishes this match on the bench, is there? I bet she's given the armband when she comes on.SoxFanInCali said:
Japan better hope nobody gets hurt.
I don't think I've ever seen a team make 3 tactical subs before the hour mark.
