DUDES

imagine coaching the best team in the world and having your players have to come together on their own because they felt that they weren't being set up to play THEIR game and succeed

imagine winning only 3 of 10 major tournament games and still saying 'i think we played the way we wanted to'

imagine having the deepest bench in the world and not using a single sub

imagine talking mad shit about how league performance is important and then not taking into account ACTUAL league performance

imagine giving players consistent minutes leading up to major tournaments and then giving them ZERO at the actual tournament

imagine having two of the best players in the world come to you regarding their mental health and punishing them for it

can you imagine that? because vlatko actually did that shit

LET ME JUST LEAVE IT AT THIS

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PLAYERS HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND SEEING HIM BENCH SOME OF HIS BEST PLAYERS REALLY PISSED ME OFF. LET START WITH MISS KELLEY OUR NEW COACH/ 3 TIMER VETERAN THE FACT THE SHE ONLY GOT 8 MINS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WC AND FROM THE START SHE HAD SO MUCH DEDICATION AND FOCUS AND HE BASICALLY TORTURED HER AND THE REST OF HIS BENCH MAKING THEM WATCH HIS HORRIBLE COACHING. ASHLEY SANCHEZ, YOU COULD ASK ME A MILLION TIMES A DAY WHO MY FAV PLAYER IS AND I GIVE YOU THE SAME ANSWER ASHLEY SANCHEZ. NO MINUTES AT ALL SHE IS ONE OF THE TOUGHEST PLAYERS IN THE NWSL AND USWNT AND IT BREAKS MY HEART IN TO SHAMBLES THAT SHE WAS USED SO MUCH THROUGHOUT THE SEASON AND THE GETS CALLED UP TO THE WC JUST TO BE FORGOTTEN ABOUT IMAGINE HOW HER PARENTS FELT WATCHING THEIR DAUGHTER SIT ON THE SIDELINES WHILE HER TEAM IS BEING MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY TORTURED BECAUSE THEIR COACH DOESNT WANT TO SUB IN, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THAT MAN FOR WHAT HE DID TO THAT BENCH. BUT I KNOW SHE WILL MAKE HER NAME IN THAT NEXT WORLD CUP. I FUCKING HATE U VLATKO THE FACT THAT U PUT KRISTIE MEWIS ON TWO MINUTES BEFORE PKS WHEN U KNEW SHE COULD HAVE SAVED UR ASS A LONG TIME AGO WTF I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW FUCKED UP THAT WAS OF U. TO SWITCH SUBJECTS THE PLAYERS THAT PLAYED THE FULL 90 MINUTES OR CLOSE TO THAT FOR EXAMPLE SOPH SMITH, EMILY FOX, NAOMI GIRMA, ALEX MORGAN, JULIE ERTZ, EVERYBODY BETTER BE GIVING THEM A FUCKING ROUND OF APPLAUSE I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANY BULLSHIT ABOUT HOW THEY ALL SUCKED IN SOMEWAY BC TO PLAY EVERY GAME WITH THE SAME ENERGY AFTER UR DUMBASS COACH IS PHYSICALLY TIRING YOU AND YOU KNOW HES NOT GONNA SUB PLAYERS ANYTIME SOON SHOWS HOW MUCH RESPECT YOU HAVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY PROPS TO YOU. ALYSSA NAEHER I KNOW YOU LOST THE WORLD CUP BUT I HOPE YOU WIN THE FUCKING LOTTERY BECAUSE AFTER THAT PK YOU DESERVE THE DREAMM. SPEAKING OF DREAMS SAUCY SONNETT FUCKING DOMINATING THAT WHOLE GAME WAS A FUCKING DREAM I CRYED WHEN I SAW HER ON THE LINEUP. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE I COULD SAY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ONE THING. JILL ELLIS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW UR UNFILTERED THOUGHTS RIGHT KNOW PLS ANS THANK YOU!

Oh this damn sport hurts my soul sometimes

USWNT v The Deutschland

Murphy… well it feels mean to blame her for the own goal. But I do feel comfortable questioning how the hell is she organizing her back line. That’s part of her job as a keeper and whenever she’s in.. full mess. She had some great saves, will never take that away from her though

Alana and Girma.. seemingly a solid future pairing. Some very bright moments pushing the ball up and some clutch saves. Naomi reads as calm but paying attention. Alana’s nonchalance sometimes reads as her not paying attention and getting caught extremely off guard. Right side was the weak side tonight.

Which begs the question. Why in the hell do Alana and Sofia not work better together. Club and country. Same spots. If it’s not fully clicking, I don’t think we should be making fetch happen.

Sofia had a quieter game because she obviously was not able to get up as much. That’s where she thrives. She did have a good physical presence though, I love when she decides she shall NOT be fucked with.

Fox did decent. She gets caught up too far sometimes and just does not react to get back. She was getting beat up out there which was very rude, someone give a helmet. Knee pads. Lil bit of bubble wrap. I think she’s very very good, but I would take a healthy Dunn over Fox.

Dunn. She did well. She wasn’t the game changer I think folks wanted her to be. But she’s a left back, I’m not counting on her to do it all. I think coming back from pregnancy and getting back in the mindset of two different positions should not be looked over. Midfield with club was the first priority. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took a little extra time to get back into defense.

Rose was going x games mode. I understand not overworking her, especially after that scary knee moment in the first half. But if we keep her fully healthy, gonna need to have her for ninety. The movement, the nutmegs. Only thing she was missing was getting off some banger shots. Girlie needed to SHOOT

Captain Lindsey KT tape Horan. She has the vision, she had the ability to create space, she has the headers, she has the bike attempts. Does she have the speed? Negative. I forget who, Alex maybe, tried to give and go with her and miss ma’am just, was not getting to the second ball. I think she had a pretty decent game but fatigue was apparent and I would have taken her off a little sooner.

Andi goes hard. I will always give her that. Broken record, but US Soccer needs to stop trying to pigeon hole her into a Julie Ertz role. The expectation of that position in our formation needs to be ADJUSTED.

I already voiced my opinion on Korn coming in. I think she’s great. Love her at San Diego so much. Don’t love the insistence on putting her in based on heading ability over a legitimate game plan. She shouldn’t be our Hail Mary last resort.

Coffey… at this point, I think it’s good she comes in to get experience. But as a 6, same thing as Andi. We gotta reevaluate what that position means.

Sanchez. Well thank god she came in. I was fucking waiting for that. A lovely spark

Mal. Mal is obviously talented as all get out. I will never argue that. But when she does the SAME ‘fake like she going to continue down the side, cut and explode centrally’ after it hasn’t worked 11 times. Idk maybe she wants to try something else. And if she wants to shoot, and she SHOULD, she needs to stop ruining her own angle

Sophia was doing so much. So much, all of the work. Somewhere… Carli Lloyd is praising her for being a harder worker than those 8 year olds she slandered on Twitter. But after all her work, her final ball was lacking. The amount of times she launched crosses and shots while falling away from the ball… it was too much. It seemed like she felt alone up top and didn’t have a good enough option and tried going alone.

Alex. Was quiet for most of the game. Which I don’t love. But will never doubt her ability to never stop. The tenacity to get the assist that late in the game. THAT Alex. It’s why she’s on the field over other people. Always.

Pinoe really said… hello new baby straights of the uswnt…. Here’s how us old lesbians get shit done. For real though. At least we can still count on her!!

And Trinity. Should have come in at half. Like Coffey, games like this are amazing experience since she is still so young. But her ability to just RUN. When she has 45 to ball out without the expectation of a ninety. She will GO. She showed she can blow past defenders and will come back on defense. She has the oomph we need to inject. More Trin.

And we have to do it again soon! Not in Florida though, so that’s a plus. I would LIKE to see Miss AD FRANCH and Kristen Anne Mewis to get some fuckin minutes.
