Shut this thread of hope down. We all know Hoofball Jill will go through Abby Wambach. She is going to live and die by that tactic.

I believe that would be Rampone. She's almost 40. I guess the women's game is different since that would have been like calling up Claudio Reyna to Brazil last year.

As long as press and Morgan are up front who cares. It was obvious when press came in the offense opened up. I know it was against 10, but Abby and Morgan didn't do crap against 10 because Abby just stands there.

I'd rather see Abby play midfield since she "has" to be in the game.

If the defense holds and they can assemble a glimmer of hope in the offense it'll be a good game.

How could you type this:

and then come to this conclusion:

Where else should she play? Shes going to be on the field. The defense has been solid. The offense has been offensive. Change up the offense leave the defense, only spots left are midfield and goalie.

Id sub her in like someone said before, but lets be realistic. She is going to play the whole game.

Am I the only one who favors just about any formation employing Morgan Brian? It seems like she makes plays just about every time she comes in, even if they don't pan out in a goal.

She missed a few passes at first when she came on against Columbia, but made a beautiful pass right onto the head of whoever it was at the far post over about 25-30 yards. It reminded me of a Michael Bradley pass. She tends to just make things happen.

She shouldn't play anywhere if her current form is anything to go by.

Putting her in the midfield would just make the presence in the middle third that much more invisible, not to mention the fact that she has never been deployed there.

Like she did against Sweden, huh?

I don't trust Jill as much as the next person, but you are just being ridiculous.

Welcome to the thread. Glad you came up with that all yourself.

That's the point. She's been invisible up front and she's always played there, so what does it matter to put her in midfield. You know she's going to play, just stick her there.

One game. This is the knock out stage. Don't kid yourself there.

No, not really. Just providing what I hope to see. I wish along with everyone else that we switch to a 4-3-3. Jill is not going to do that, nor will she take her out. What are you bringing to the thread again? Have you provided any thoughts or scenarios?
