Not a good half at all. Honestly lucky to only be down one.
I think we'll draw even on a set piece. We've looked dangerous there at least. I think they imposed their physical will against our mids and forwards and threw us off our game plan. I'm predicting 3 yellows handed out in the first 10 minutes of the second half.

That was atrocious defending by the US on their goal. 5 people trying to play center back while leaving someone open at the top of the box.

The way this game is being called, there's no reason for the Netherlands to stop their tactics. Hard foul after hard foul and tons of grabbing and impeding

And of course I’d just switched channels because I was getting frustrated.

Wow, you couldn’t have scripted that goal any better!
Van Der Donk is my new favorite expletive. The karma of that goal by Horan was a beautiful thing to see.

Rodman was a liability out there, caused way too many turnovers. Rose was our best player tonight and it wasn't particularly close. Anyone think that header at the end that caused Van Der Donk's injury was intended? Glad she didn't pick up her second yellow. We need her on the field as much as possible.
 
So a win or draw against Portugal and we advance... lose and we're likely out, unless Netherlands somehow loses to Vietnam, right?
