Yeah, of all the complaints to make this one is just uninformed. But par for the course for drive by posters.
Not a drive-by. Also not short-sighted.

Glad for the team... I was watching, after all. More importantly, what a coaching job by Hayes! I look forward to the MNT getting an equally good manager.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Definitely myopic. But that's ok.

This team, if nothing else, got some grit and toughness. They play with a purpose.

I do think the midfield needs to be more dynamic.

You realize we just won the gold, right?


Damn dude, you act like I said that they suck.

Definitely an opinion... as valid as anything you post. All good, though. Glad the team won gold.

Yep. Emma was the celebrity behind the stars. Great hire. Made exactly the right personnel choices. Sorry Alex…

What a gutsy tournament by this team. Cant wait to see what Hayes can do with our player pool in the years to come.

We have some young studs coming up in midfield. (Is that offensive?)

What did it matter if they arent as dynamic as you'd like them to be? Would the result change if they were more dynamic?

By no means did I diminish what they accomplished. They didn't play perfect. There are areas that they need to improve upon. And Emma Hayes and the team will tell you the same.

That's it. Not sure why you getting all offended by it.

I'm not offended. Just an odd comment after winning the gold.

Hot take, I don't like the change that allowed that goal to stand. The other USA player was offside and 100% involved in the play/ influenced the defense, don't care if she ended up not touching it.

Was a great run in behind, pass in to her, and composed finish though. And we were the better team and deserved the win.

I disagree. The two nearest defenders were already behind both Smith and Swanson and Smith being offside didn't affect the defenders ability to challenge the ball.

Agreed, she smartly took herself out of the play and let Smith make the run through. Not nearly enough influence on the play to call her off.

Ever since they hired the chick from Pitch Perfect and got rid of the rainbow golden girls things have improved drastically

Addition by subtraction works every time

Yeah, if it didn't work they'd just call it subtraction.

US beat Iceland tonight 3-1 on three really nice goals. 2 of them by teenagers.
not that Iceland is a top 5 team, but funny how with a good coach we don't look like the world has passed us by.

Yes, a nice score line and exciting goals by Alyssa Thompson (10th cap, 1st goal) and Jaedyn Shaw (8th international goal) and Sophia Smith. But Iceland is respectable, #13 in FIFA ranking, and proved to be no slouch, scoring once and threatening quite a number of times, especially in the first half. They surrendered the possession advantage but had very good counterattacks. Very physical. Our defense looked good but beatable at times, especially when the ball was lost in our half of the field. Sophia Smith and Alyssa Thompson had very nice goals, and Iceland's lone tally matched theirs in style. Shaw's goal was more workmanlike. She beat Iceland defenders on the dribble and then beat the goalkeeper the same way on what appeared to be a toe poke. Great grit and determination on her part.

The USA plays Iceland again on Sunday, and then Argentina on Wednesday.

Beat Iceland 3-1 again. Very different game though. Gave up an Olympico in the first half and Iceland bunkered, all three goals came after the 70th. First half had a lot of new faces, bringing in Horan, Smith, Williams etc. in the second half against a tired Iceland team was too much.
Another debutante goal too, Emma Sears.

Sweet, between her and Fuller, the 07s are looking like a force to be reckoned with for a decade and a half.

Saw her and recognized her when she came in. It was cool to see her play. Such a tenacious player. Was hoping to see her develop at a&m.
