Final sub in the 60th. I'll give their manager a lot of credit he's been very proactive. Risky but you have to play to win
She will absolutely be on when the game ends. Maybe sub Lloyd off late to get the huge ovation, then they can swap the armband.DLew On Roids said:There's no way she finishes this match on the bench, is there? I bet she's given the armband when she comes on.
Has Heather O'Reilly played? I don't remember it.SoxFanInCali said:I think Whitney Engen is the only outfield player that hasn't played in the tournament.
Obviously neither backup keeper is getting on bar a Solo injury.
I believe she played against China in the quarters.Cellar-Door said:Has Heather O'Reilly played? I don't remember it.
She got about 10 minutes at the end of the China game.Cellar-Door said:Has Heather O'Reilly played? I don't remember it.
Well, even the men's tournament doesn't have the best officials in the world. There are always regional quotas.swiftaw said:Officiating has been terrible all tournament. I understand they wanted to promote the women's game by having all female officials, but wouldn't it be better for everyone involved (and highlight the legitimacy of the tournament) by having the best officials in the world regardless of gender?
That was a nothingburger play on.Cellar-Door said:Wow, that looked like a penalty live.
Yeah that is a bad call. That should have been a PK.
It preceded the dude saying Solo had a one-fister, so yeah.Spelunker said:I wonder if the announcer winced inside when she heard herself say "good punch by Hope Solo."
Byron Moreno says ¡Hola!SoxFanInCali said:Well, even the men's tournament doesn't have the best officials in the world. There are always regional quotas.
Jerramy Stevens probably winced.canderson said:It preceded the dude saying Solo had a one-fister, so yeah.
I think she's been the clear best player the whole tournament. She's been dominant at the back.teddykgb said:Sauerbrun really stepped up in these last two matches
Yeah the FOX women's soccer announcers are the worst announcers I've ever heard.PedroSpecialK said:This is some of the most unrelenting YES-style announcing I've ever heard
I was more impressed with Johnston's defending on the front foot earlier but Sauerbrun was relentlessly good for the entire tournament. Either way the CBs were a real asset for this teamCellar-Door said:I think she's been the clear best player the whole tournament. She's been dominant at the back.
Yeah the Fox announcers haven't been great all tournament. It'll be such a joy to listen to them in two years at the men's World Cup.PedroSpecialK said:This is some of the most unrelenting YES-style announcing I've ever heard
Hard to say. I mean Johnston looked more impressive early, but part of that was having to make big plays coming back on balls where Sauerbrun almost never got herself in those bad spots to begin with.teddykgb said:I was more impressed with Johnston's defending on the front foot earlier but Sauerbrun was relentlessly good for the entire tournament
Yeah, try searching "Hiroshima" and "Nagasaki" right about now. Fucking embarrassing.soxhop411 said:Ooof
I doubt it will be the same. They'll drop all the USWNT vets and USWNT coaches probably. Leaving just Dellacamera who sucks. They've used these guys for MLS: Lalas, Friedel, Holden, Meola and Cobi Jones.swiftaw said:Yeah the Fox announcers haven't been great all tournament.

Completely inappropriate, this was much more like Midway.soxhop411 said:Ooof
