I always have this memory of the last time the US women’s team played France that France was so much faster then us on the wings. It just seems like that script has totally flipped and US seems so much more deadly out wide. 

Tough to stop speed I guess is my point. Speed in Space

Me thinks you don't know what sexism means.  Now go to the kitchen and make me a sandwich.  Tell me if that was sexist (since I assume you identify as a guy)

Neg away, but I thought twat waffle was funny as hell.

1) Stating that any women athletes should play in their underwear is without a doubt sexist.

2) The last 5000 or so of human history haven't told me that my place is only in the kitchen and that I have less worth and importance than a man. That's a particularly nasty gendered insult framed as a joke that doesn't involve "bad language".

Half time, 1-0 US

Seemed like France controlled the last 10-15 or so, but not in any way liked the US controlled the first 15. 

Gotta attack down the wings more and keep forcing France to the middle. They aren’t as dangerous when they are trying to attack vertically.

We'll see how the fitness keeps up as France gets desperate in the 2nd half. First subs will be interesting.

I think Lavelle is trying to do too much for the US. We could have had a few more chances if she hadn't held the ball too long trying to be soccer goddess. She's great but they are all over her and Rapinoe.

Good thing Dunn has recovered from Spain. They obviously are trying to attack her. Rapinoe too, for that matter.

If the game keeps going like this they will lose. They need to possess the ball in the middle third of the field. Too early to sit back.
