I do not agree Rodman did not have a good game. She was fantastic on defense. On offense they doubled up to contain her. Japan worked hard to clamp down on her.
Alex Morgan has held back our US team's ability to score the past couple of years. Now we are on our way back on top with superstar strikers Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman.
WSL Chelsea fans seeing Emma making zero subs looking at USMNT fans and saying "first time?"
It is hard for Rodman, Swanson, Smith to have a good game when no one passed to them. 1000 passes... Mostly the back line passing to each other... And just because Japan played a dreaded "low block", the sidelines were there. Germany is not worse than Japan.. And it was not because of Japan's defense. Japan basically had some transition moments, but the US basically just passed back and forth> The front three didn't look sluggish. How much did Swanson actually touch the ball.. You need a pass to touch the ball
USWNT winning despite Horan’s awful play (been going on for a couple of years now). Multiple turnovers, poor decision-making and just too slow. She needs to pass the Captainship to Girma. Moving forward, Horan should not be on the 2027 World Cup roster.
Horan out here stealing a living lol.
girma, rodman, swanson, dunn and smith only decent players
Girma is amazing!!!!!
@@BakerClassicsAlly Krieger commenting on USA/Japan. Krieger lost the Cup for USA against Japan when she got the ball stolen in last minutes!!!
Swanson is so overrated, it's crazy. She has 0 technical ability on the ball in tight spaces. She loses it every time a defender closes her out cause all she can do is hit it forward to beat them on pace and real defenders can defend that easily.
This game was well played on both sides, it could have gone either way.
Yeah because Horan couldn't pass or have pace
Ali a great add to the analysis
6:30
Good Point.
The rules impose Equal disadvantages 👍
Dan acting like Japan is a bad team 🙈🙈
USA should attack from the start, involve the wings, wings cross ball over to the attackers. Also play high pressure and man to man to stop the other team from scoring and possessing the ball
Can you all just be thankful to USWNT qualified to the semi final?
Most importantly, going through a heatwave as the one we are having where I live, watching Trinity Rodman with her pink wooly braids almost gave me a heatstroke
How much more boring can the US's side be? Unbelievable lack of creativity save for Rodman...she's awesome. Someone please tell the back line to move up and the midfield to work harder to find space. Sonnet, I'm sorry...sit her down...have her watch film of Spain's games to teach her how to play in her position.
Columbia almost beat Spain….this is tournament football - sometimes you have to win ugly.
Please stop quoting completed passes in soccer bc its usually a meaningless stat bc most of those passes are short backwards and sideways passes. In soccer both on the men’s and women’s side too many forwards are unwilling to run at or take on defenders.
Well when Japan is playing a 5-4-1 it’s what you get. I call it bunkering and it’s a terrible way to play. Cowards
The Formation with a New Coach, you have to be patient as a Fan and let them stay as comfortable as possible. During a tournament, you definitely do not want to voice contrary opinions.
Let them play they want to win the Gold, they need to stay Solid in terms of doing what they know works, including keeping the Formation as is.
The time to rotate the players must be decided by the Coach especially when that coach is New and Successful.
If it ain't broke, don't.. (what?)
We're in the Semifinal Baby!!!
One more win and we'll be playing for the GOLD 🥇
First Place
THE GOLD
THey have 3 days of rest... they will recover.. She trusts Lynn Williams. She trusts Nighswonger. I think taking Bethune was a huge risk
I disagree I think all three are amazing in 1v1 it’s what makes them dangerous
Trinity was getting more and more pissed during the match, and Japan paid for it.
Of course the U.S. did more to win--they scored more goals. I'm so tired of this discussion of "who deserved to win" in soccer. If the score doesn't determine who was more deserving, the game needs to be changed. In no other major sport does this silly discussion exist.
Uswnt miss lily yohannes, she is much better than Horan,Albert and Ross She is the best midfield position player the reason I said this watching video of her games in Europe.
I disagree that she is better than rose but I agree that she is better than Albert and horan
Nope.
They don't "miss" her.
She can't play at this level yet.
@@carterenglund3211rose from rose b4 her injury is a diff player. our midfield sucks
Manager Hayes should have substituted Horan at halftime, she was horrible, doing more to stop the US attack with her passes to Japanese players. Rodman was the best offensive and defensive player
Horan was horrific today. More than usual... but she's the captain? & Morgan couldn't even make the roster? Horan has been declining for a while now. Rose was getting pissed at her! Having to cover for her multiple times.
Yall are foul for not waiting a warning of the bracket with scores 😤 espn keeps spoiling replay games.
Umm don’t watch a recap video lol
They don’t care it’s another broadcast company showing the games
Sophia Smith is over-rated at the 9 position. She could have scored at least 2 goals, but no imagination. Blasting from 25 years or shooting into the goalie (one more cut with left foot! there was no one around her!) isn't going to cut it. Emma Hayes is so enamored with Ms. Smith, I worry. Trinity is playing great football.
Spain win + Vega's stage music from Street Fighter 2= LOVE
Most players are willing (TOO MUCH) to go 1 vs. 2 or 3
I don't understand why football analysts are unwilling to make an honest analysis of a match?
All the teams and all the players are subject to the exact same rules of the tournament, and they are subject to the same number of substitutions. The same rules apply to all the teams. All the coaches pick their teams based on their needs and their wants. It makes no sense to complain about the rules, whether they be stupid or not. All the teams, all the federations, all the players know the rules before the tournament begins, so stop complaining about that.
Next, forget about the group stage, it is over. Whether you finished first second or third in the group, it doesn't matter anymore, this is the elimination stage and every team is on level terms. Nothing that your team did in the group stage matters now, the only thing that matters is whether you are able to find a way to win. Completing 1,000 or even 2,000 passes makes no difference if you can't score.
Because they’re woke. Too worried about the backlash if they go against the narrative
@@AnnSmith-u9c That doesn't make any sense. Woke has nothing to do with football, it is a social issue.
@@gabrBL82 I was commenting on your first sentence and you can’t deny I’m correct on that point.
@@AnnSmith-u9c Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. If that is the case I apologize. My comment is directed specifically to an honest analysis of a football match. In this case the USA vs Japan. Both teams have had the same number of matches. Have been awarded the same amount of rest time in-between games. They both called up the same amount of players to their national teams and are playing under the same rules of the tournament.
Wokeness, as defined in Webster's dictionary “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice), and identified as U.S. slang. It originated in African American English and gained more widespread use beginning in 2014 as part of the Black Lives Matter movement."
I don't think it applies to this conversation since we are talking about a sports tournament where every party involved is on a level plane. It does not address any social issues, simply the journalists lack of impartiality when it comes to reporting the facts of a game.
FYI, I have no political affiliation and do not belong to a specific political party. I'm simply a football enthusiast calling on journalists to report facts, not feelings.
Horan is awful. Slow, poor passing, bad decisions. Team would be more dynamic if Horan was benched
Amen
She was trash af.
Perhaps. She hasn’t looked like the Horan of old.
Yet she remains a veteran presence and leader on the pitch. Plus she made a fantastic touch pass to set up a critical first goal in an earlier match in the tournament.
@@joshx2117Eh, there was a reason why Horan came off the bench for almost every game when they won the 2019 World Cup. People like Emma keep rating her because she started her career in PSG and currently plays in Lyon. They play a much different game than the USWNT. She's too slow and doesn't play in the same frequency as her US teammates.
Rosie and Dunn actually played more aggressively, but the rest of the midfielders and backline were to passive, afraid to step up and make attacking passes. They were like a lazy practice session running out the clock. This team has so much potential, but being held back by cautious players too well trained by mediocre coaches
They had to pass cautiously because Japan was hoping for a bad pass or a mistake because they had been best of when doing a counter. In all 3 group stage matches of Japan they had less possession than their opponents which showed their effectiveness when pressing and forcing mistakes. So the United States did the right thing in this game trying their best to prevent mistakes even if that meant passing backwards or sideways to find a different path to goal.
@@marvinprudencio7321 that cautious style is a waste of the only strength of our roster-our 3 attacking forwards. Our defense is weak, our goalie is slow to react, our best approach is to press their defenders and play aggressively on offense, we have the talent to score 3 goals per game. We probably looked worse than we played because Horan couldn’t complete a single pass in the 1st half, she is in terrible form this year and needs to be replaced, captain should not be our weakest player just because of age
Uswnt ?? Whats that? Why dont you call Japan Jwnt , yes sounds stupid doesn't it
This comment is stupid
This comments is so dumb!!
Totally careless about the Olympics Football, especially the women's one. The only positive things regarding this matter is the fact we have 2 African teams in the men's semifinal, with Morocco having absolute great chance to win the gold medal with Achraf Hakimi.
I think they got sluggish because they were bored. In a more active game, they would be invigorated.
Japan almost won that game! They had way more chances. They almost got bored out of the tournament.
USA played like England style - many back pass for backward attack
Go USA🇺🇸
These managers not bringing on substitutes should be fired ,dreadful management, the USA aint winning gold medal with that mindset
Turn to germany to redeem themselves.
Spain is tired, it makes sense Barcelona's players has played everything, the coach has to put other players because the main team is tired af.
They are winnable right now.
This is soccer at its highest level.
Tbh . The hair looks ridiculous. Someone has to say
Haha, you didn’t cover the USMNT’s result against Morocco the same way you did with the women’s team. A lot of other channels didn’t either. It seems like you couldn’t handle the 4-0 defeat.
I'm sure there's enough coverage in the Arabic tv media, that you can take your a$$ over there and watch.
Durka durka
Sorry but I don’t watch FC to see Ali Krieger. Did they not just start a specific show for the women’s game? lol ffw >>>
thumbs down , no interest in woke Olympics
Lol.
And who cares what you think?
Yet you're here. Silly softie is offended.
hahaha yet you watched this 🤷🏻♂️
Well...Bye....
Hahah how dare they let women compete
OMG! 🤯 Who cares?
Exactly
Someone’s a virgin☝️
A lot cares, weirdo.
Meeee! ☝
Espn fc and the referee during the 1934 final of the World Cup.
Nobody cares
True or false: Beer league men's team would easily win Olympic gold in women's soccer?
Yeah no interest, just like watching crappy crystal palace play, sorry I mean lose
I hate the nobody care’s argument! Because it’s not factually true. There is always someone who cares about a game. There is no 100% no one cares!!
@@arthurau9231why does that matter?
@@CoutureThugCrystal palace didn’t lose 1 game this month lol. Beat Liverpool and etc, but live in your own world. Obviously don’t watch football
I thought the USA will win the Olympic soccer game this time, because there are all regular player.
Bot.
