WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win the World Cup - and Rubiales gets sacked
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
I reckon Sweden will score on our 1st chance after USA dominated all game, it would be typical.
Sweden need to do something about Horan and the amount of space she’s getting between midfield and defence. All of USA’s best chances seem to be going through her right now.
If it was not for Mušović, Sweden would surely be in a deep hole by now.
Imagine Musovic had to play 3rd keeper for sweden til she was 27 because of Hedvig Lindahl
Worst coaching decision that went on for 5+ years.USA sub wearing a tank top, or at least she wants to.
Why did they sub Rodman and not Morgan? Rodman has been great.
Rodman was one of their best players. Not sure why she is being taken off.
Vlatko keeps on making weird decisions. I feel Alex Morgan has become about as useless for the USWNT as Thomas Müller is for Die Mannschaft these days.
What are the chances of Glazers buying Rodman & Smith to United?
He will sub Smith soon as well, Sweden will be thankful!
Sweden will start to move in minute 75th and forward when USA have spent their energy, the plan is working!
The USA coach should sub Morgan for Rodman for extra time, its not too late to correct his earlier mistake, Rodman got 20-30 minutes rest, she would be ready to go again! (not that she looked like she was tired even)
I’m hoping Sweden show a bit more going forward. The US are there to be gotten at
Is that even allowed?
It has happened before in other leagues at least :-)
USA looks spent now, as expected, its all sweden now in extra time.
Is this a new rule or something?
Has there ever been a rule saying you cant sub in a player that has been subbed out earlier in the game? I have never heard that such rule exists, since you are wasting subs I cant see a reason why it should not be allowed.
This is such an awful game. One of the worst of the tournament so far, imo.
When Rodman was subbed, USAs attacking played died, what an awful decision, the USA coach might be a mathematical genius but does he know football?
You cannot sub a player back on that has been subbed off earlier. Its been a rule of the game since substitutions were first introduced
Set pieces and sweden, USA is shaking....
USA look a shadow of their former sides. Poor game overall, disappointed in Sweden
If I google it most reactions say no but I can't find a definite answer.
Another good save.
Mušović coming big again!
Weird seeing just 2 minutes injury time
Why did VAR intervene with an incorrect offside call 10 seconds late?
Stage 1 plan, let USA run themselves tired - DONE
Stage 2 plan, wait for extra time - DONE
Stage 3 plan - put in an extra gear and win the game! (NEXT)
We got this, USA is there for the taking
I agree. I know that knockout rounds can be cagey affairs, but you gotta show initiative and desire in those. I just haven't seen enough of those 2 qualities after 90 minutes.
Some leagues/tournaments have experimented with rolling subs - not this tournament though.
After the experiments were run, most leagues/tournaments switched to 5 subs with/without an extra sub in extra time with/without head injury/concussion sub.
Masterful managementStage 1 plan, let USA run themselves tired - DONE
Stage 2 plan, wait for extra time - DONE
Stage 3 plan - put in an extra gear and win the game! (NEXT)

The USA coach has gotten flack for not doing timely subs, much like Skinner with United. What will he do for extra time?
Not every team has Chelseas 3rd goalkeeper to plan aroundMasterful management
Also, Stage 4 plan - let the USA coach sub their best player after only 65 minutes, that certainly helps
Well I for one hope Sweden wins purely for that fact I can't stand possibly making it to the semis only to be knocked out by the USA again.Not every team has Chelseas 3rd goalkeeper to plan around

Controversial opinion, but I think it's worth looking into deciding matches on 'stats' before they go to penalties. If a team has, say, 5 or more shots on target than the other team, that team should progress to the next round.
Sweden have had 1 shot on target (I think) the entire game. USA have been the ones pushing.
There is no chance Musovic does not win penalty kicks after this game, just saying!
Van de Donk would just boss Horan around again, dont worry
Donkie is suspended for the Spain match.Van de Donk would just boss Horan around again, dont worry
Well, well, well. Morgan has been pulled out to let Rapinoe in.
Who plays as a centre-forward then?
