Heath looks a bit clueless in front of goal. Maybe it's the tiredness.
From watching their matches, they aren't a spectacular team when it comes to the football they play but they're excellent at making the other teams play badly.USAs game management is unbelievable
That's not wrong tbh, the US are much better than the restOur pundits are saying we should be proud to come second. Who the feck believes that...
At least it's not another men's final we lose, I suppose.
They play far more games than any other country too, which I guess helps their cohesionFrom watching their matches, they aren't a spectacular team when it comes to the football they play but they're excellent at making the other teams play badly.
Their fitness is also miles above other teams.
Don’t know why people are being so sensitive but ok.
Well because a few football rules are not straight forward and have always been about interpretation. A lot of challenges and handballs look much worse when you see them in slow motion. I am definitely not against Var btw, football can't continue to have awful decisions but Football will need to modify rules for Var and I can see the next few years being a real painI'm not sure if we should have rules and enforce them...
Because Lloyd has been playing for the senior USWNT since 2005.The commentators just said the US sub was coming on for her 281st appearance for her country. How’s that even possible?
Losing 2-0 isnt a bad result if you compare these teams. It's like Feyenoord playing away to Real or something.That's not wrong tbh, the US are much better than the rest
Women play way more internationals than men.The commentators just said the US sub was coming on for her 281st appearance for her country. How’s that even possible?
Did not know that.They play far more games than any other country too, which I guess helps their cohesion
How am I supposed to know if it’s good or not unless I watch it? Unless you want everyone to say it’s good? In which case, that’s your problem.A fair few of us here enjoy watching womens football and have enjoyed this World cup but every so often people come along with negative vibes, like I said just turn over if you dont find it interesting.
From how the commentators are talking about the US team, it feels like half their players have played in three world cups. I would also think that with the quality in the Women's game in the past that international friendlies would be more common and players are much more likely to start international careers very young and last agesThe commentators just said the US sub was coming on for her 281st appearance for her country. How’s that even possible?
Rapinoe has 6 goals scored in fewer minutes played.And Morgan will be top goal scorer with 6 goals because of 5 goals against Thailand?
Awesome.
Still averaging 20 games a year! They must play loads of friendlies?Because Lloyd has been playing for the senior USWNT since 2005.
Carli Lloyd has probably played less than a hundred league games in that time. The pro leagues over here are constantly battling against insolvency, the national team is the only viable option for a lot of them to get any actual game time.Still averaging 20 games a year! They must play loads of friendlies?
The rest of the world values football, we do not. Our best male athletes play American football, baseball and basketball.Speaking relatively, why are the female USA team so much better than the men?
You'd expect both to be equally good/equally shit but the discrepancy is massive!
The best athletes play other sports.Speaking relatively, why are the female USA team so much better than the men?

I would guess that Soccer is fairly big for the women over there, so gets more of the better players flowing into it. The men's team has to compete with sports that are far bigger than it over there which takes away the pool.Speaking relatively, why are the female USA team so much better than the men?

Agreed, cracking tournament.Congratulations to the USA. And what a fantastic tournament that was! A really good advert for women’s football over 5 weeks.
