We had some severe storms last night and have had a complete cable service outage since late yesterday evening. Still out this a.m., so I couldn’t watch. Was the U.S. just sluggish or was this a tactical, play defensively and accept the draw kind of game? The U.S. started in a goal differential hole but ran up the score on NZ to get back in the driver’s seat on the tiebreaker in group play. Against Australia, smothering Sam Kerr and settling for a draw would be enough. Would have been good to win but with Kerr lurking, staying defensive in a knockout situation may have been the smart strategy.
Sorry about your connection problem.
USA definitely a bit sluggish.
Was happy when Press got substituted out.
Offsides Morgan header goal, we need better focus.
Saw what we can do with good passes against New Zealand.
Which is also a focus issue.
FOCUS USA!
Thank you sphinx for the excellent analysis and commentary. 👍
