RapinHoe played in two of the final three matches. Her scores were from Penalty kicks. The Spanish defenders owned her. She was out of position, poor passing and was stripped of the ball on most occasions. The Finals were the same. She can play well against second tier teams but the class teams owned her.
Defending her would be a delight - push her to the outside, pressure until she coughs it up. If the defender commits, they can easily recover due to Meg's lack of speed.
Final PK should have been Morgan's to take.
You are exactly right. Rapinoe wasn’t even close to being the best player on the team. Almost all her goals came on penalty kicks earned by other players. The gal that played in her position in the semi-final was a much better player.
