Perspective: The USWNT’s dominance is missing. Its opponents aren’t afraid. And that should scare the living confidence out of the United States, Candace Buckner writes.
“Peeved” would be the G-rated word to describe Horan after she absorbed hard contact from Dutch player Daniëlle van de Donk in the 59th minute. The two are teammates on the French club Olympique Lyonnais, but when the referee tried to work an intervention shortly after the contact, Horan still wasn’t ready to make nice with her old buddy.
“Coming back from being a goal down is huge,” Ertz told Fox Sports after the match. “ … And I think that just speaks volumes to the players and the energy that we can bring in, the game-changers that came in. I thought Rose elevated it when she came in as well. But that’s what the tournament is about. You just roll up your sleeves. You find your grit, and then you find your goals.”
After the captain answered, the fear was gone. The U.S. resembled the deepest squad in the tournament we thought they’d be. In the 67th minute, Trinity Rodman, another one of the newcomers, delivered a sweet pass to Morgan, but Morgan was offsides and her would-be go-ahead goal didn’t count. Later, Rodman had the step on a Dutch defender but not the angle, and her best shot of the day veered wide of the net.
However, something’s not quite right about this team. Its dominance is missing. Its opponents aren’t afraid. And that should scare the living confidence out of America.
