@@adamfox1445I hope not, but it looks like an early flight home. The U.S players have shown they are subpar to the rest of the world. Their skills are lacking to play with the top teams in the world..
Yes for heavens sake , why so impatient, keyboard coaches!! Emma's had 6 training sessions!!! USA goals will come , she's building a team , a new team.
Fabulous press conference by Emma Hayes! This is the very beginning of a developmental process. The winning will come. Perhaps not soon enough to win gold in Paris, but this will be a top team again! They have enormous potential and she seems extremely competent to unlock that potential.
Patience is key with this group. Im confident they will get there. She is essentially changing the way that they play from the ground up. The talent is there, we’re in great hands
@@straightgarb No one becomes fundamentally sound by osmosis. Let’s not pretend that ALL of our older players we’re tactically and technically sophisticated because they just weren’t. I know we like to remember things more fondly than they were but, lets be fair to THIS group. Besides it took past teams almost 10 years to start being ‘dominant’. The right coach and system will use the skills that THIS group has to succeed. There is more than one way to win. Emma is probably the best in the world at this right now. Id like to see the conversation after their run at the olympics. They have a lot to prove for themselves.
Emma made it clear this was a "team building" practice match. Just getting game time together as a team allows her to make assessments and prepare for competitive games. This result is not as important as just getting game time. You would not want to give too much away as to tactics and team structure before the Olympics either. Having said all that, the team building is for the next World Cup. Any medals won at the Olympics would have to be a bonus, just on where the team was at, before Emma was appointed.
She has taken over a sub-par team that needs time and experience to develop. I think EH is a legend and an exemplary coach who will turn this team around if it is possible. Give it time, but do not expect much at the Olympics.
I said this as well. Stop putting so much pressure on the team to put it all together so quickly. I believe this team will be absolutely killer during the next cycle, but not right away. This Olympics is just another teaching and learning moment.
If you are the opposition coach the last thing you want is a free flowing game. There is so much talent on this team and they are almost too unselfish. If you get caught in an open game they will crush you. That being said, this team is going to have to fight through lots of blocks and be patient with their play. There will be different locks to open. There are only 12 teams at the Olympics, all of them will be tough. It is going to be fun to see them succeed!
Patience is needed with this squad and the coaching staff. They have so many highs to celebrate and some minor lows that can be managed fairly easy. Finding that passer was a very evident low, there was no one taking any risk to the attack and dropping in on a run. When the USWNT came into the box they were so hesitant to find who was going to make the move to get the football pass that crossbar. I believe it had to do not having their best, Rose Lavelle to make those choices. Those ladies are a wonderful team and they have been very clear who does what and that last minute change brought I believe the challenge they needed that no other team was going to bring. The mental part of the game was more of a challenge then if they could beat CR or not, they could of but they were working all match to find an answer to who should be where or do what. This squad can win matches and now they can work on all the change ups that can come in future with these Olympic matches upcoming. All those ladies did really well and from the amount of corners, the high percentage of possession and shot on goals are still a winning recipe to win these upcoming matches. They as a whole did very well and will continue to do so, this coaching staff have high promise to success and we can see that very soon.
Costa Rica was playing Defense the entire game so Emma is right on how these exercises will give the team more knowledge of many ways team will play against them.
Her interviews are so refreshing. It's clear that she has plans both tactically and relationally and is in it for the long haul. She knows how to communicate enough of her tactics to share that she actually knows what she's doing without giving away their full tactical schemes. I honestly never felt that from Vlatko. It seemed like he didn't really know what to do and just tried the same thing over and over again, which ultimately never worked. We might have a manager for a decade or two. We certainly have the talent, and she's done more in a month than we've had the past four years. (Just my opinion).
Love EH, what a breath of fresh air as any soccer coach. Who’s the equivalent for the USNMT? She’s with the most competitive team the US has, where she should be.
To all the couch coaches Emma's breaking this team down and rebuilding. Watch Chelsea women, what they have become, really exciting to watch, see Chelsea v Man City. That's Emma.
I have complete confidence in Emma Hayes. I've followed her closely since she was the 1st Red Stars coach and selected Megan Rapinoe as their 1st draft pick. She's a proven manager in Europe. The only complaint this week was her not using her bench enough. She's trying to develop team chemistry. The only way to do that is playing together on the pitch in game conditions. Give her time. Winning begins with defense and GKing. They played solid defense and scored just enough to assure victory. The scoring will come.
Decision making in the final third is the main problem. They shoot when they should pass and pass when they should shoot. Passes late with no anticipation. Probably the most athletic and fastest front US has ever had but not the best decision making.
Carli was brilliant at her best, but was an extremely streaky goal-scorer. Through much of her career, many of you critics out there kept pointing out how slow or what a dinosaur she was. She used that criticism to motivate herself.
6 weeks later: Here's your Gold Medal Winning Womens Football Soccer Team America! You're Welcome! Does anybody remember our 0-0 against Costa Rica!??😂
He’s the epitome of unprofessional! Always lurking behind the players during interviews. He’s interrupted players and coaches to put words in their mouths. He just learned how to have sound at these events recently! He probably set the camera up himself so he’d be in the frame. It’s distracting and creepy!
@@IngridAndDjuna He didn't set the camera up himself, and he is the team's official press manager, and has been with US Soccer forever. You have to know why Aaron Heifeiz does that instead of assuming wrongly
Easy for me to second guess, BUT.... Alex Morgan has lost a couple of steps, granted, but she is crafty inside the 18. She would have taken a flop in the crowded box, and we would have won.
Smith and Swanson can but they need to step up mentally, they’re overthinking too much. I liked Korbin Albert too, i think playing in PSG gives her that extra something thats missing from the others. She needs more field time.
We have enough sample size. This team won't win gold. Spain and France are now the clear favorites. Our front 3 is not clinical and shows a lot of selfishness at times. Horan is too slow to be our number 10. Just compare her to Spain's Bonmati. It's day and night. Finally, I agree that Media Relations guy is very creepy. Always lurking behind players during interviews and hugging them very tightly and they look very uncomfortable. He needs to be fired!
Christen Press is done. She's had a fork in her for the last couple years. It will be lucky to see her play for her club. Stop wishing on those that are headed for the soccer abattoir.
Yeees chemistry beats individual talent many times unselfish FAMILY ball all sports . The bully tactics and aggressive tactics that is low level ball usually gets beat by a team n ball control patients and I know nothing just learning . “ NEXT PLAY “ all game works . YES PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT .
This is the perfect example how Americans view football/ soccer every sports in this country is about score score. There’s more into football than scoring. Relax this Emma
Don't expect an Olympic Gold Medal from this group. I doubt they will win any medal. They are a work in progress learning a new system under a new coach. They will be a real threat at the World Cup in 2 years.
Decision making, creative movement in the box, better passing, selfless extra pass. Same stuff as always. Corners? Didn't we have a distinct height advantage? Wth. By the way, don't expect the officiating to get much better or "fairer" at the Olympics. It's only going to get worse
It’s the same issue they have had for a number of years. They can’t finish and produce goals. This is the worst game from an offensive standpoint that I have seen the ladies. It was an embarrassment. They were literally playing a glorified college team. I seen them play Mexico on Saturday and they were also a major disappointment. I don’t see this team winning much if they can’t resolve their lack of scoring. It was not their defense that got them bounced at the WC it was one goal in three games. Corner kicks means nothing to this team. I hope they can fix this issue and soon.
Emma Hayes should let the great American champions play as they always have. A 0-0 scoreline against the 44th-ranked team does not reflect the USNWT's true potential. The players seem so afraid of making mistakes under Hayes that it’s jeopardizing their chance to go to the Olympics. Captain Lindsey Horan, please speak up. Americans drink coffee, not tea. Just as Patton wouldn't let the petty Montgomery dictate his march toward Norway during the Battle of the Bulge, don't let anyone hold back our team.
Because they did so well under Vlatko who used the same system as Ellis? Gotta give this team some time, she’s only had 6 sessions with them. Every other coach that has taken over this team has had at least 16 games before a major tournament.. Emma has had 4. I think she’s an incredible addition but simply needs more time with the players
imagine if everyone wore their pajamas to work. Amazing how a small country like CR can battle a so called world class coach and team. The coach throwing out stats to hide the underachievement of the performance. Passing backwards and long balls, is that her system of play?
Did you watch? There weren't many long balls at all because CR were in a low block, so there was almost no space behind their back line. If anything, we should've tried a few more long balls early to back them off our mids, be more unpredictable, and scrap for opportunities from the second ball.
@@robrhoden4819 well not doing a rewatch. Both friendlies revealed a lot. The playing culture will not change anytime soon. Run fast still the system of play as opposed to creative build up and involving more than 3 players into the attack. Gonna take two cycles and some more strong youth coaches to feed the program.
@@robrhoden4819this was another practice match working on things they need to work on. Although they didn’t score they definitely worked on things Emma asked.
For all those who criticize; Emma can’t put the ball in the net for them! The goals will come
Will they? It's that or an early flight home right?
@@adamfox1445I hope not, but it looks like an early flight home. The U.S players have shown they are subpar to the rest of the world. Their skills are lacking to play with the top teams in the world..
True. Trust the process
No. But she can make the right choices in personnel. Smith isn’t it and neither is Rodman or Williams.

I agree. Sophia does this alot. Shoot when she should pass and pass when she needs to shoot.
Human Chess with cardio beautiful game
Abby Wambach and Carli Lloyd were beasts… you bet would’ve finished some of those corner kicks that landed in front of the goalkeeper
Wish we had more of an aerial presence
Carli was brilliant at her best, but was an extremely streaky goal-scorer. Through much of her career, many of you critics out there kept pointing out how slow or what a dinosaur she was. She used that criticism to motivate herself.
Agreed! They always managed a goal when the team needed, especially Lloyd in championship games. But for Loyd that took time, late in her career.
Raw talent but education takes time
Can she coach the men's team !!
Can we at least get her a nice USA shirt? 🤔
I agree- a little image help might be good- nothing crazy
