While everyone is giving credit to other players, Allie long and Morgan brian had very strong games. Both a bit shaky at times but brian held the midfield really well and same with long holding the defense really well.
uswnt soccer and more I agree so much! Especially about Brian, who had a really strong 2016, especially in the post-Olympic friendlies. And although I don't like Allie Long playing center back, she's shown a lot of improvement as a player and is a force to be reckoned with. They both deserve a lot more credit than they get :)
all the goals were great but can we talk about Allie Longs performance as CB, i wasnt really liking her presence in the midfield but i enjoyed her game as centerback she really stood out to me in this game
Ha, ha, ha!!! Until the French stop choking at major tournaments, that wouldn't happen. We'll see at the EUROS next year how they do but don't get your hopes up. But even if they get their shit together our team will be phenomenal
WE DON'T WIN? We don't make it into the finals ever in any tournament and all of a sudden they are reduced to loser status? Are you kidding? I think you are mixing them up with the USMNT.
If it was only about skill, the French should have won every major tournament for at least the last couple of years. Yet, they can't seem to beat either the US or Germany, and they keep lesser teams around, so a Canada can and did beat them in the last World Cup, and several teams could easily do the same to them. They have a fantastic defense and midfield. But their goalie is sub-par and they don't have one "can't miss world class forward" to put the ball in the net consistently. The US have about all of their forwards (as well as the ones on the bench) AND some midfielders who meet that criteria! If the French can field even one forward of that caliber, that might do the trick, but it's a big question whether they are able to. And I don't see any superstar goalie on the horizon for them either.
Alex, individual skills is only a small component. French women have won neither an Olympic gold or a World Cup. So, the same "skills" won't get them much further because they refuse to change. Furthermore, to the purported superior skills by the French women, have you seen Heath or Press play? They cut, slash, shoot better than anyone on the French team. I love Amandine Henry. She would be a starter if she were American. But that's it. All those pretty skills you speak about, the Americans evolved beyond them years ago. It's all about precise passing, fitness, making creative runs etc. The Americans should've won the 2007 cup were it not for the most moronic goalie substitution in history. And let's not forget that the Swedish game was a colossal upset and the Americans were by far the favorites to win. I'll take the American "skills"/system over the French every single time because they've proven that it results in major titles.
ATTRACTIVE AND NICE GAME......... MAXIMUM PLAYERS IS PRACTICE FULL, SKILLS FULL, DRIBBLING FULL, TECHNICAL FULL, AND POWERFUL ............NO 10, 23 WELL PLAYED...... BUT WINER IS WONDERFUL.....
Lynn only has her number till Alex is back with the team. There is supposedly seniority when deciding who gets what number so once Alex Morgan comes back #13 will be hers again. Besides I wouldn't be sad about it for the time being, Lynn is an awesome savvy and extremely fast player just like Alex, so the fact that she is wearing her number right now is perfect. First Cap, First Touch, First Goal for Lynn, that was cool
She's just borrowing it. Lynn Williams is a keeper though. She has a lot of Alex Morgan in her. Fast and always looking for her teammates and can finish. It would be interesting seeing her play with Alex. The other US forwards should worry about their place on the team with new players like Williams coming in.
Lloyd needs t pass more to people who have a better chance to score. Dunn should not have taken the shot on the sequence where Heath ended up scoring. That is an example of the tendency for hero play in soccer rather than find the teammate. Foudy.... isn't the mentality getting the best chance to score? You would not have to scrap if you just passed
WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS GREAT PLAYERS DISAPPEARING WHEN I WATCH THESE VIDS!!!!! ALEX MORGAN AND MAL PUGH AND THE REST OF MY FAV PLAYERS BETTER BE IN TH LINEUP
Glason Santos I know they lost some matches AND YES I AM USING MY HEAD CAUSE I KNOW SOME TIMES THAT THE USA WNT LOST SOME GAMES BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT WIN AGAINST JAPAN IN 2015?!?!?
Alex is a known quantity. She's a superstar. She doesn't need more practice when she needs to rest up and heel much more. Same with Klingenburg and Rapinoe (though I hope not to see Rapinoe back for a long time if ever). This gives Gill Ellis a chance to evaluate many new players and get them familiar with her new system.
whether she is called up or not, there are too many young and better forwards that are performing really well. if she wants a shot she is going to have to trying extremely hard and really dedicate herself
we would have considerably less chances without crystal dunn and I'm glad people are recognizing her hustle.. The placement on Mewis's header though
This team is spectacular. They’ve won the World Cup 2019 with some unbelievable games 👏👏👏👏🇺🇸😍😍😍😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Impressive showing by the newbies 🙌🏽. I hope Ohai starts on Sunday and scores a goal ☺️
Da1&Only22 lol you called it
Brian Byrnes :)
that was some great play! love to see Dunn and Horan!

Great team goals!!!! Especially the last one, everything was timed perfectly
I peep that preath action😍😂
this team is now basically the UNC and Stanford best 11 lol
Except Lynn Williams is from Pepperdine and is probably the best new talent on the team.
I feel that Horan is so underrated she’s so great like why does no one talking about her!
Underrated performances : the Swiss goalie & Allie Long
Preath😍😍😍❤❤❤
Why is Carli wearing a long sleeve when she takes ice baths XD
Tobin..😍😍😍😍
all the goals were great but can we talk about Allie Longs performance as CB, i wasnt really liking her presence in the midfield but i enjoyed her game as centerback she really stood out to me in this game
I 100% agree
These women are awesome! Looking forward to the redemption in the World cup in a couple years!
Ha, ha, ha!!! Until the French stop choking at major tournaments, that wouldn't happen. We'll see at the EUROS next year how they do but don't get your hopes up. But even if they get their shit together our team will be phenomenal
Yeah we do play the best football but it won't mean shit if we don't win anything.
WE DON'T WIN? We don't make it into the finals ever in any tournament and all of a sudden they are reduced to loser status? Are you kidding? I think you are mixing them up with the USMNT.

Great job ladies! Also think the Swiss keeper did a great job.
These women are outstanding! Talented group of awesome athletes who are making the US proud!
Amazing players! Great job!
Watching football in the stadium is so exciting!
ATTRACTIVE AND NICE GAME.........
MAXIMUM PLAYERS IS PRACTICE FULL, SKILLS FULL, DRIBBLING FULL, TECHNICAL FULL, AND POWERFUL ............NO 10, 23 WELL PLAYED......
BUT WINER IS WONDERFUL.....
this just makes me really proud
Getting the job Dunn!
Such an amazing game! They really picked it up 2nd half.. (:
For a nation that doesn't watch the worlds greatest sport, i have to say, US womens team are amazing
Lynn Williams is the 2016 Breakout Superstar in U.S. WNT
anyone else sad that Lynn Williams took alex Morgan's number???
Lynn only has her number till Alex is back with the team. There is supposedly seniority when deciding who gets what number so once Alex Morgan comes back #13 will be hers again. Besides I wouldn't be sad about it for the time being, Lynn is an awesome savvy and extremely fast player just like Alex, so the fact that she is wearing her number right now is perfect.

It would be interesting seeing her play with Alex. The other US forwards should worry about their place on the team with new players like Williams coming in.
Can you imagine a top line with Alex, Lynn, and Mallory on it?! Not that Ellis would have the balls to do it but it would be so cool to see!
If Lynn does not get more playing time and caps, something is wrong. She looked like fantastic out there. Her and Alex up top could he deadly.
Why isn't Alex playing
This was on my Birthday!
That cardinal connect for a goal to a fantastic build up :)
In 2016, the NWSL MVP Lynn Williams makes her impressive U.S. WNT debut when she took Alex Morgan's number due to Alex Morgan's leg injury
I miss hope and mal )):
IdontKnow me too
where are they?
Kathy Wussow, Hope is suspended til February and Mal was training with the U20 team for the U20 world cup in Papua New Guinea.
I Love you guys
Ok thanks guys and no I don't have twitter but thanks
Why is Williams the same number as Alex Morgan
Aw they wore wristbands with LH12
Lloyd needs t pass more to people who have a better chance to score. Dunn should not have taken the shot on the sequence where Heath ended up scoring. That is an example of the tendency for hero play in soccer rather than find the teammate. Foudy.... isn't the mentality getting the best chance to score? You would not have to scrap if you just passed
Where is Alex Morgan
Would they dare to play the men's team?
In June 2016, Megan Rapinoe returns after suffering career threatening leg surgery in December's Victory Tour game vs. China PR
🤞🏽 hoping williams makes the olympics 2020
question : WHERE IS ALEX MORGAN AND MEGAN RAPINOE!?!?!?!?
Where is Pugh?
under 20 team
You have to test out the B-Squad talent and new people occasionally.
bruna aUan vat
ONE SIDED, BUT ATTRACTIVE GAME, NO 10, NO 13 ,NO 17 AND NO 23 IS WELL PLAYED......
WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS GREAT PLAYERS DISAPPEARING WHEN I WATCH THESE VIDS!!!!! ALEX MORGAN AND MAL PUGH AND THE REST OF MY FAV PLAYERS BETTER BE IN TH LINEUP

Dam Lynn is fast ...whats her 40 time ...?...lol
Is Alex Morgan still on the team cause alex Morgan is number 13
Abby Perrin
she is, just wasn't at this camp
all of the U.S. goals had a 6 in the number! coincidence or what?!
I love Alex Morgan
where is ALEX MORGAN??
sofislays She wasn't called up.
michaelmmateus what do you mean she wasn't "called up"?
the coaches just thought she needed a break - and it gives new call-ups a chance to earn some playing time
Alex is a known quantity. She's a superstar. She doesn't need more practice when she needs to rest up and heel much more. Same with Klingenburg and Rapinoe (though I hope not to see Rapinoe back for a long time if ever). This gives Gill Ellis a chance to evaluate many new players and get them familiar with her new system.
sofislays shut up
I was there
V love you my favorite USA woman football team
The Swiss goalkeeper was brilliant could have been 6-0 if it weren't for her
#NoHopeNoParty #EqualPlayEqualPay #FuckThePress #HopeIsTheBest
Why is Carli wearing a long sleeve jersey? She litterly takes I've baths for like 12 minutes XD
HARRY
The men team should watch these women games and learn something from them.
So I gues laroux never coming back lol it's nice to see fresh players out there
Ijanae Reed She just had a baby a month ago. If she gets her fitness back I see no reason why she won't get called up again.
whether she is called up or not, there are too many young and better forwards that are performing really well. if she wants a shot she is going to have to trying extremely hard and really dedicate herself
Ijanae Reed you dont go from giving birth back to a soccer field at the highest level in a month. what a stupid post
preath (;
YES
bruna chaves i ship them so hard
Man these Gks suck lol
