Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 4719594, member: 237"] It's bad. There is clearly something wrong at the youth levels going on here. While the women's game is still developing world wide- the previous versions had a stable of players who were strong technically. Morgan has never been one of those players but Heath, Press, Rapinoe( aging out now and just not able to do the same things) , Lloyd, Sauerbrun out of the back and so on. I will say the missing pieces via injury are glaring with having Rodman and Smith out there. They are end of the bench last cycle and now pushed into starting roles they aren't setup for. Swanson, Macario and Press are the big 3 injuries and all showing up massively. None of that is an excuse for the massive poor showing so far and the dearth of technical prowess. House cleaning is very much needed after this WC. [/QUOTE]
