Just watch the Spain squad and you will see what Emma is trying to build. She knows you have to fight fire with fire. She has the players. Swanson, Smith, Rodman, Macario = Goals, goals, goals.
USWNT team has always been a deep roster!! Even IF Morgan makes the roster, she won’t see very much playing time, just like when Abby played very little in the WWC in 2015, Abby’s last year of competitive playing.
I have a lot of respect for Alex Morgan, but I’ve been confused by the starts she’s gotten as of late. Her lack of pace and effectiveness up front have been evident for a while. All the love to her, but it’s time for a changing of the guard.

You can clearly see the difference in game play with the new coach and the previous coach they look way more disciplined and are playing more as a team than they were previously where it was a lot of one on one.
Shaw at the 10 and Smith at the 9 is an impossibly great front 4. Guessing Cat starts games and Shaw will finish them. Rodman and Pugh perfect just the way they are.
I’m praying for the same but the prob is she plays a position with senior players ahead of her. Hope they find a spot. Watch euro women soccer you’ll see her magic.
Mia Fishel was jokingly asked if she would like to play for the lionesses….In a flash the answer was a yes……Unfortunately, it’s to late! Still the search goes on for a decent number 9
First Half our offense got stagnant again after Dunn's goal. After Coach sent in the subs, it was like she poured Drano and opened up the offense. Go Lily !!
Been watching Emma for the past 10 years at Chelsea and she just has a magical rapport with her players, they love her and want to do their best for her. The ones that don't cotton on to her system will be gone, she doesn't screw around in that department. I've already seen it in just these first two friendlies, the difference in most of the players attitudes and enthusiasm. Emma is the perfect manager for this side and is the missing X-Factor in making this side the dominant force we're all used to. Oh and Lily has nothing to worry about, Emma loves brilliant young enthusiastic players and she will make it her mission to make her one of the best players in the world. Look at what she did with Guro Reiten (a player most people had never even heard of) she helped turn her into one of the best midfielders in Europe; and that's only one of the many players she's done that with. Really pisses me off and makes me sad that Emma left Chelsea 😟 (I was kind of hoping she'd manage the men's team - LOL)
Emma had access to Chelsea money. She bought in some phenomenal players, but unfortunately she had no idea how to utilise them and flopped big time in European competition…..As for coaching the Men’s team, someone’s having a laugh! Ps Guro Reiten was already an accomplished Norwegian international player when she joined Chelsea, which owes nothing to Emma Hayes coaching ability! Please be factual with your postings in future.
Ok so Emma had no idea how to utilize her players? Explain the trophies before she finally managed to get the brass to open their wallets, as in the first 5 years she was there. As for Champions League, sure she never got the title but she got them to one final and deep runs numerous times only to get beat by teams with even bigger wallets (Barcelona, Lyon to name a few). As for Guro, sure she was an international for Norway but she was in no way an international star and only a part time starter. There's not like there's a ton of competiton in a small nordic country for spots. She was very good on the Norwegian pro teams she played for but the competetion wasn't great, It wasn't like there were numerous teams lined up to sign her, Chelsea were the only ones who made an offer. She didn't start at Chelsea for several years as there was much better talent in front of her, sorry but she really developed in to a great player in 2022, just a fluke I suppose. Being a great coach isn't all about being hands on, just like being a great manager in business, you got to surround yourself with a great supporting cast who can help people reach their full potential. Look at Pep Guardiola, his Manchester City teams are dominant in the league but until this past season they always flopped in the Champions League, I suppose he isn't one of the best manageers on the planet? Most high quality teams are built that way, win domestically and hope for the best when you play outside of your country. Oh and about her coaching the men's team? Duh, glad you were able to cotton on, really no need for you to remark about the obvious, kind of spoils the joke. And as for being factual, it's the internet, enough said.
@@thespeedygoalkeeper2025 She’s not a lockdown defender. I still feel like she’s a situational starter. Against certain European teams I could see her not starting if we need more defense in her position. If we’re playing a heavy attacking style then she’s perfect.
How do you not have the run up to the first goal in these highlights? That entire goal was because of Alex Morgan. A great turn in the defensive third, a driving 60 yard run at the South Korean defense and the pass out wide that led to the cross.
It's so nice seeing a lineup of fast forwards w Soph-Mal-Trin-Shaw. Add Lily, Rose, & Cat and we've got a wonderful offense. 🔥 I don't think Lily makes the roster solely because I'm not sure if she's personally made her decision on what country she wants to represent just yet. Hopefully tonight and her recent camp experiences sways her in our favor down the line.
'Nice to see Dunn pushing forward on the right in 1st half and then from the left in 2nd half. Looks like they're having fun which is great to see. Nice job Coach!
as a Dutch (from Amsterdam) i have to advise Lily Yohannes to choose for USA national team, and after 1 more year at AJAX to play at one of the bigger teams in Europe so she will have the best of both worlds (a.o. Champions League).
Two good news. Murphy must be the new goalkeeper. She looks like Hope Solo. And there is a new midfielder able to replace Horan or Lavelle when both of them are gone. But I want to see the three together 90 minutes. This team will win the Olimpycs.
I love this team and they’ve been getting better lately. It would be awesome if this team wins the Olympics but tbh I don’t they’ll win the Olympics . Still hoping they’ll medal tho

Hayes cannot fix this and it will be shown up when the USA plays top European teams.
@Delboy0 I strongly disagree with Dusty’s comment but to say “Emma cannot fix this problem” imo they’ve been getting somewhat better lately and I can see more improvement with Emma in charge. If you keep up with the USWNT regularly you would know that this isn’t the same team that went to the World Cup last year because many players who went to the 2023 WWC haven’t seen a call up in months. They’ve been calling cup a lot of younger players lately and some key players returning from injuries like Swanson and Macario. But yeah as of right now they’re nowhere near Spain unfortunately.
Man!! Iove the forwards we have now! Swanson, Smith, Shaw, and Rodman are gold! I love that the coach is playing Dunn at forward as well. Morgan shouldn't be on the team just because anymore. She is no longer a game changer.
One of the most important things a football and Soccer player can do is to strengthen their core or mid section, and lower body because that's mostly what they use on the pitch. Players need to have good center of gravity to accomplish all the movements they have to do while playing. I guess Rose, Horan, and Alex never got that message. Same with Ashley Sanchez!
There’s always that one hater in the comment section hating no matter what 🤡😂. No matter what the result is they stay hating because they got nothing better to do than to hate LMFAO
You are quite right about Emma Hayes! She only ever won domestic titles, but was a total flop on the European scene! I don’t know where this Hayes hype originated, but she will be exposed for what she is, when she gets to play the likes of England, Spain, or France etc.
