I switched allegiance so many times during the final few games. Praying for Canada to win against Germany, then praying for Germany to beat the US. Praying for Spain against Brazil, then praying for Brazil against the US. But as much as I wanted to see a fairy tale ending with Marta scoring in a gold medal win for Brazil, I can only admire the American team.
And on the home front, even though we didn't get past the quarter-finals, I felt like the Canadian women getting out of their group with six points deducted was its own magnificent victory.
Good for you: it is my firm belief that sectarian people cannot really enjoy sports - for them it's just a distraction from a long and bleak existence of stewing and hating. Kudos to Canada for overcoming the consequences of their coaches' dishonor. Kudos to Germany for winning bronze - and losing only to the best team in the tournament. Kudos to Spain for fighting till the last second - and staying magnificent even in defeat. Kudos to Brazil for stunning two european contenders with their shenanigans and then making USA earn that gold. And well done USA, putting up a flawless performance and making their new coach look like the genius that she probably is.

Nicely put.
How about this for a bit of trivia? The three Expresso girls scored 3 goals each to take the USWNT to the final...
* Rodmen scored the winner (1-0) in the quarter-finals,
* Smith scored the winner (1-0) in the semi-finals and
* Swanson scored the winner (1-0) in the Final.
What is especially interesting is that all three strikers not only scored goals at a similar rate they also provided assists at a similar rate.
They could not have spread the goals more evenly if they tried to. Now that's the best example I've ever come across of a team of strikers so in tune that they are right on song (excuse the pun). Not forgetting the fact that they could all pass for real-life sisters, all having black Dads and white Moms), lol.
And on another note, I am not the biggest fan of the USWNT midfield largely because I know that more dynamic and influential players are waiting for their chance to show what they can do. Rookie Croix Bethune is already in the mix (and rightly so) but it is a significant oversight by Emma Hayes that she has not already noticed the best rookie in the world.
Anyone who has not yet noticed how good the number one draft pick and the best player for the Utah Royles (leading in assists and goals) is, has not seen her play much or does not really know their football. Ally Sentnor, who, in her first pro season, is already one of the best players in the NWSL (playing for the worst team in the NWSL), will become "thee" stand-out USWNT player from the moment she gets her chance to shine. Yes even out-shinning the amazing Espresso girls.
And Sentnor will not need time to adjust either. Like Lilly Yohanis, she will hit the ground running for her country the same way she has hit the ground running for her club. Corbin Albert, like Ally Sentnor, is in her first season as a professional footballer but the only reason you would choose Albert over Sentnor is because you haven't really seen Sentnor play.
Sentnor can dribble like Rodman, shoot goals like Sophia Smith and high press like Lynn Williams. She makes a decision and commits to it i.e. she does not second-guess herself. In addition, she is always switched on. Head's always on the swivel. Her mind never drifts and she never shows any sign of nerves.
In the very first game of the season and her debut game as a professional footballer, 20-year-old Ally Sentnor was easily the best player on the park (that's unheard of), running and scoring from the halfway line one of the goals of the season, just for good measure (google it).
When the world finally gets to see her play alongside USWNT winners like Girma, Fox, Dunn, Rodman, Smith and Swanson (to name but a few) instead of NWSL losers (no shade on Utah Royles intended), then and only then will the world agree with me and see all of what I see.
I haven't heard much about her.....will look her up now thx
I came for the Women’s footy but stayed for the surfing.
The USA midfield needs work, but their set pieces need SERIOUS work. Hayes had good set pieces at Chelsea and I think a lot of that has to do with the delivery. The U.S. delivery on set pieces this tournament was erratic, off target, abysmal at times.
Yohannes is going to replace Horan. Macario is going to replace Lavelle and provide set piece service. Problem solved.
Cat Macario is the US set piece person. No one else has the ability it seems and it showed
@@dolphmanityMacario may actually be better in the box than with the service. The problem is that USWNT currently doesn't have players that are great in the air, Horan was the best they had in their squad in that aspect so Lavelle had as much of a chance to cause chaos by simply trying to shoot from corners.
@@heppolo Our best players are short. There's no getting around it. We could bring Gaetino in at centerback and push Davidson out to leftback, where she sometimes plays at Gotham. We could give 6-1 Taylor Flint another look in the midfield as the #6.
Haha, I guess we did make Brasil look unbeatable - between France and Spain. France by getting completely destabilised by their foul playing and relegated to defence. And Spain by getting destabilized by their provocations and time wasting and getting exposed at the back while chasing the score. Well done USA, proving that Brazil is beatable, especially when the referee doesn't buy their tricks. Marta was out of place in this team; they played better without her on the field. Heck, they probably tried to teach her to play dirty - and she failed miserably, got sent off and suspended for 2 more games. She is a legend and a player with a remarkable longevity, but really - was she not better supporting the team from the stands this time ? I wanted Geyse in the brasilian squad. Cheers.
Brazil could have got a 50/50 pen in the first half though
