Any prognostication on the World Cup?

I think the US got a break with the Netherlands because Sweden looks like a much tougher side overall. Assuming the top 11 are a go, I'd like to see Ellis sub in Press and Lloyd a littler earlier in the match. The Netherlands will likely be fatigued so take it to them.

Rapinoe and Lavelle seem not at full speed. Sub early. Horan

Press, & Lloyd. They are controlling but Rapinoe is being beat by the back. The Dutch have quick counters so we need to score. The Dutch shape looks good and our danger seems to come from the Heath side.

Rapinoe and Lavelle are embarrassing

The Dutch keeper
Dutch keeper played very well, considering.

Dutchies go cynical, a-la the men’s team in the 2010 final.

Our second goal will come late.
3-0 if Ellis uses the bench earlier

2-1 if she doesn't. You are 100% right about Press and Lloyd - both of them are great subs to 'break' a team. Let them foul Morgan 15 times and deal with Lloyd at the #10 for the last 25 minutes. She'll eat them up.
4-1, USA *
