Press better keep tracking back. The LB is getting overloaded and not coping well.
Dunn has speed and did great against France, mostly 1:1. But she's definitely had missing instincts on things, such as the non-shot where Mead blew a tire inside the 18 but otherwise would have gotten off a great shot. A second prior, during the dribbling into the box, there was an errant dribble well away from the ball-handler and Dunn could have come off her mark to intercept, but instead she stayed with the cut, and the cut developed.

Mind you, we're talking about the NWSL's leading scorer, who plays forward for her club. Playing fullback because we ain't got shit for talent there, not for anyone for whom that's their natural position.

that LB work by Dunn was good stuff. She isn't perfect at multi-opponent interplay yet, but 1-on-1 you can't get anything simple by her.

She's doing better than the Heath at LB experiment at the Olympics.
