Wow handball penalty against Sweden, excellent block by Sweden.
Been trying to keep up with the game via watch/twitter during breaks at work.
Full time Sweden 1-0 Canada
Congratulations Sweden
Spain exposed the US weaknesses on the back line and in goal. Yes, they fouled excessively to blunt the US timing on the offense, but they used long passes to capitalize on their superior one on one skills.
Morgan and Rapinoe were ordinary. Morgan is playing hurt. She should be substituted sooner during the French game if she has another subpar performance. I would replace Dunn with Krieger. Krieger is more experienced, bigger, and Dunn is playing out of position. She is a midfielder. Mewis played surprisingly well.
Based on today’s performance, the US will have a hard time beating France, which has better technical skills and a better attack than Spain.
