*No spoilers please if you know the result!*

Watching the replay of #USAvPOR and 30 minutes in, #Portugal looks like the better team (but not by much). More organized, less sloppy, doubling up #SophiaSmith every time she’s near the ball, and looking more dangerous.

I dunno what Vlatko’s plan is, I can’t believe that losing Sauerbrunn and pushing Ertz to CB changed everything but the midfield is weak.

Why are we always trying to be direct with long balls that have a less than 50-50 chance of retaining possession? While service to our front line is non-existent. Why can’t DeMelo & Lavelle be on the field at the same time?

Also: the yellow card on #RoseLavelle was BS 🤬. I swear the refs are letting our opponents get away with much more in every game so far.

HBO was showing the player profiles and when they put Lavelle up, my wife reminded me that we were freezing when we saw Rose's first cap in person ... and then this screen comes up.
