She’s been okay overall. Missing some stuff late here. Also was letting a lot of dangerous late hits early on, was allowing advantage which is fine...but not real good chance advantages.

There's only a couple minutes left to go in the half. Can't both teams play with just 10 players without subbing?

That was fricking sloppy by us. Lucky they didn't convert

Bring Press on to start half... stop wasting time with Rapinoe.

Us flopping and hoping to draw a foul is not working and even worse it’s putting us out of position and leaving them openings.

I'm not privy to the rules but apparently you can body check people in soccer?

Has the Dutch even had a shot on goal in this game? Their best opportunity to score was probably the through ball that our goalkeeper had to venture out of the box to clear.

Nope it’s been completely one sided except for that last little spell after the collision.

Would have been if we could have put one of those in. Again, I wanted Press to start.

But some people’s bias make it seem like Rapinoe doesn’t have a single redeemable quality.

She does not have many redeemable qualities in the run of play, though. I will not deny her set piece and penalty prowess, but more often than not she’s indecisive in possession and tries to do too much.

I like Rapinoe just fine but her skills have degraded to just set pieces. She doesn’t have that sick finishing speed anymore, can’t keep possession, and has been sloppy passing.

Press gives you three attackers with speed to burn with Rose and Morgan. Press’ first touch has been lethal. She blurs by defenders. No reason she shouldn’t have been in.

Rapinoe has played some good crosses and corners today. Other than that, pretty much same ole Rapinoe. If she doesn’t get a perfect ball played to her with space, she’s a ghost on the field. Give her another 15 min and sub Press in. It should be the opposite in my opinion. Press should start as she has more potential to beat other players and score. Bring in Rapinoe as a super sub.

A Russian bot would be sewing disinformation like saying the US women’s team is good.

Just to play Saban's advocate, Press can go in with fresh legs now.
