I like Lynn Williams, but she reminds me too much of ‘Feo. Really good until the most important moment.
Every time I think the world has caught up the USA team looks like it reloads and got better than it was before.
It's only been the last few years that I've actively tried to watch the WNT (all 3 don't bother with men's soccer) but the difference in athleticism is insane.
I was confused why Macario didn’t get any minutes the last 2 games. Must of missed that Lyon made her come back so she could finish a quarantine before their UCL match.
What’s funny is I’d say the athleticism part they have teams that can hang now. Whereas in the Wambach days it was literally she could go higher than anyone and it wasn’t fair or some other players who would go on brute force. But what’s crazy is the skill across the whole field. Not long ago I’d think of a small handful of players with it. Now it’s just everyone. Lavelle keeps getting better and they keep adding more.
Was looking forward to watching the first official game of the new KC Women’s Soccer Team (actual name for now) tonight until I found out it’s on Paramount+. :eyeroll:
Oh wow, O’Hara got fouled and they called a PK but she looked outside the box to me. Rapinoe slots home the PK. 1-1.
I still think the offsides rule is stupid and refuse to be convinced otherwise. 2-0 in 20 minutes is fun tho
I mean red cards in friendlies are a bit much but I feel like pulling a woman down by her hair as she beats you cleanly and going towards the box should probably be a case that earns one.
I swear I keep thinking the world will catch up and then they play France (#3?) and it's like watching Bama vs. UAB.
