Lost to Australia for the first time ever the other night and were down 3-1 in the 79th minute to Brazil...would be the first time ever the US had lost four home games in a year.
Scored three goals in the last 11 minutes and won 4-3.

Really not sold on Jill Ellis as a tactician. We seem to have ladies playing out of position all the time. The WC run and specifically Carli Lloyd bought her a lot of cred, but otherwise the results have been disappointing since the last WC.

She's the JK of USWNT. Lots of tinkering without actual plan. For example, playing Sauerbraun last night at defensive mid. Then she brings in Julie Ertz to defensive mid and push Sauerbraun back to CB. Doesn't make any sense.

Rapinoe's first touch on her goal was class in any league or gender

That Brazilian free kick was a thing of beauty.

Same thing with her threaded pass to Press, followed by her turn and shot. That was a quality goal.

Rapinoe needs to go

She is old and there are way better players on the bench

Can someone explain the indirect free kick that took place in the Brazilian penalty box?

By the way,

They mentioned during tonight's game that it was the first time ever that the us women have come back from a second half two goal deficit to win,
I would say it's pretty remarkable, but given how dominant they have been over the years, probably a pretty limited number of games where they even had a second half two goal deficit.

What the ref called was dangerous play from the high boot (playing in a dangerous manner). That's always an indirect kick, regardless of location. So you spot the ball at the infraction and set a wall at 10 yds. If the goal line is closer that 10, players may stand on the goal line only inside the goal itself.

She butchered this on many levels. First, dangerous play at this level doesnt come from a high boot. That's rec league. Technically, that call requires the other player to flinch away from perceived contact with the boot. Sauerbraun not only didn't pull back for fear of being kicked, she actually dove her head into the play and got kicked as a result. It should have been a straight out PK. Second, only the players on the goal line are allowed to be less than 10 yds from the kick. Anybody not in the line in the goal must be the standard 10. The ref had a corner of the line on the near post then angled it out and other players just randomly everywhere.

If you are going to screw up, might as well go for gold I guess.

I had to watch over again but Sauerbraun launched herself laterally across the body of the defender, toward a 50/50 ball and got kicked. IMO, a PK would have been harsh considering Sauerbraun initiated the dangerous play.

I think there is a reasonable and defensible argument for either no call or a PK. IMO the person taking a bike assumes the greater responsibility to do so without kicking another player. At lower levels it's a PK. But no call at this level is certainly not unreasonable. The PIADM call was nonsense

I would agree, the indirect kick makes the call feel halfhearted. Almost as if the ref blew the whistle and then thought 'oops, that was just a hard play' but had to so something because play had stopped.
