****ing terrible.

Late turnover with 10 seconds left leads to a penalty. Do literally anything with it and you've won

Piss poor PK attempts by the Canucks. Guess their strategy was to hope that Naeher guess the wrong way.

Our goalie went to her right in all five kicks reg and OT.
Canada seemed to not care. They were just gonna kick it at her and hope Quantum law allowed the ball through.

And you gotta love the confidence of Lynne Williams, taking it to the corner with 13 minutes left.

Yeah. Not sure what's up with that.

Why is Brasil in a Concacaf gold cup?

Maybe I'm a hater but I don't get the hype behind Rodman.

USWNT are Gold Cup Champs. Beat Brazil 1-0 last night.

It'll be interesting to see how Hayes manages the attacking talent for the Olympic roster. Both Mallory Swanson and Cat Macario will be available for selection, although Macario may be more of a midfielder than forward.

Alyssa Thompson was left off GC roster. Not sure if she's in contention for Olympics or not.

That's great. She still needs to polish a lot of her game to become what she was hyped up to be.

Hype is not her fault.

First game with the new coach and they already look better. More dangerous offensively and no sign of Alex Morgan today, which should have happened years ago.
4-0 over South Korea.

Is the mixed color scheme on the jersey numbers some kind of gay pride tribute?

Happy to see Lily Yohannes score on her debut. I've seen her a few times for Ajax and she is good. She's applying for NL citizenship and I wouldn't assume her future allegiance is inevitably going to be with the US. Likely but I wouldn't assume it.

She's very smooth on the ball which was very impressive for a 16 yr old.

Maybe the ugliest tie in the history of soccer tonight.
US played Costa Rica. We had 26 shots (12 on goal), 16 corners, 80 percent possession, and couldn't score. Just no clue how to make the final pass. They are gonna get grouped at the Olympics for the first time if things don't get better.

US had 2.7 xG so it wasn't like they didn't have their chances. Just need a bit more composure around the goal.

Yeah, it was a frustrating night but it doesn't have me worried about the team's showing in Paris. Lots of minor deflections and shots that barely missed. Defending and passing was sharp.

Horan definitely looked slow out there compared to the rest of front 6. I'm worried she's going to be a liability against the better teams due to her lack of speed.

Still taking a wait and see approach with new coach. I don't like some of the personnel selections, but giving it some time. Of course, she might be just have to deal with what is available. Even though she is on the downhill slide, I think Morgan could help at least as a sub. Lynn WIlliams runs around aimlessly. I like Crystal Dunn, but as an outside back, no where else. Not a fan of Sonnett,

Horan has always been slow, but getting even slower. They could really use a larger forward with some skills, but Abby Wambach I guess doesn't grow on trees. There is almost no threat on corner kicks, no one good at heading besides maybe Horan.

Don't forget Olympic roster size is limited to 18 so versatility is a big factor in roster selection.

Both Williams and Dunn can play multiple positions so not surprised they were picked ahead of others.

While not to the extent of last night, isn't that almost every game for the last few years? We are good for 1-2 offsides goals a game, the last pass is seemingly never there, relatively easy finishes not finished etc.
Last night just took it to a new level.

US is in a very tough group for sure though not sure Australia and Germany are as powerful as they had been, very similar to the US.

US with a plethora of chances early if they start converting this could get ugly quick
