The USWNT seems below the likes of England Spain, and possibly France. The USW u-20 team showed how woefully unskilled and even unconditioned the US players were. Passes and dribbling skills were outshown by Spain and Japan. I think we’ll have a decent enough barometer againsy England. The USWNT should try to organize regular scrimmages against college men’s teams if only to play against faster more physical players.
I agree that Horan was much better than in Concacaf outings. She seems fitter and leaner, as well. Pugh was also brilliant for 60 minutes. Morgan is getting chances but not converting. Fox looked more comfortable than vs Concacaf. Huerta is also blossoming. The subs didn’t get enou time to do much. I love Purce and Sanchez, but Nigeria was just kicking the ball out and away. Several subs did not play but will on Tuesday. Until your comments, I did t realiZe Nigeria was down 6 starters. Ugh. US Goalie and defense barely tested.
