Nick in LA : 7/2/2019 2:11 pm
Going to be another big test today.

Golden Ball front runner Megan Rapinoe will not start today.

Lets get em ladies!

any reason given re Rapinoe not starting?  
Del Shofner : 7/2/2019 2:14 pm : link
I could see conserving her a little and using her as a sub in the 60th minute if we're tied or down a goal.

But that's a complete guess.

I havent seen a reason yet and the TVs at work dont have the sound on. all i know is Cristin Press is replacing her... I think we will be fine. Press is a hell of a player.
Rapinoe seems like she is pouting from reports.

Now I'm reading injury....can't wait to find out what this all about.

I think one more yellow card and she'd  
Ron Johnson : 7/2/2019 2:42 pm : link
miss the following game.

could be part of the reason
Well its weird...manager said it wasn't injury, but that could be mind  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/2/2019 2:46 pm : link
games. She's either hurt or throwing a hissy fit not warming up.
Rapinoe wasn't warming up  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 2:46 pm : link
so that usually indicates injury/didn't pass a fitness test
England's first choice goalkeeper, Karen Bardsley, is also hurt  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 2:47 pm : link
so they have to play Carly Telford, the backup keeper

ah - if that's the case, would make sense.
Yeah, Press is no slouch,  
barens : 7/2/2019 2:50 pm : link
she's got some wheels.
And  
Nick in LA : 7/2/2019 3:10 pm : link
the replacement scores! YES!!
1-0 USA (PRESS header)  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:10 pm : link
Press unmarked at the far post. US running the offense through Tobin Heath who England can't deal with at all
awesome step over to let the ball into the corner there  
bigbluehoya : 7/2/2019 3:11 pm : link
and impeccable service on the cross.
What a great header  
montanagiant : 7/2/2019 3:12 pm : link
Perfect pass also
Beautiful pass  
sshin05 : 7/2/2019 3:13 pm : link
unmarked Press with the finish
Tobin Heath  
Nick in LA : 7/2/2019 3:16 pm : link
has some serious handles... wow she is good
where is there a stream

Morgan is tired. Tired legs

Press is very fast with or without the ball. Her issue has always been seeming to have nerves on the big stage
Gorgeous  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:20 pm : link
cross from Heath and header from Press but bad defense from England. They left Press unmarked at the far post. The goalie also should have more quickly anticipated that the header would come to the near post.
Great  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:21 pm : link
equalizer by England. Nice entry pass and redirect. The goalie was helpless.
Don't ever fall asleep with a cross about to go into the box  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:22 pm : link
that's what happened. The two central defenders fell asleep
agreed  
Bill2 : 7/2/2019 3:26 pm : link
that was on our central defenders
Nice  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:26 pm : link
shot by Lavelle. She has some real power.
Mead  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:28 pm : link
should have just shot.
England dominating since the equalizer  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:29 pm : link
another terrific cross and it almost turns into a Sauerbrunn own goal
What..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/2/2019 3:32 pm : link
a beautiful goal and set-up
Happy Birthday, Morgan.  
Diver_Down : 7/2/2019 3:32 pm : link

2-1 USA! MORGAN  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:32 pm : link
Horan with a PERFECT cross. No chance for England's defense to mark Morgan or for the keeper
Another  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:32 pm : link
beautiful cross and header, the latter by Morgan.
Horan's  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:33 pm : link
deft cross was perfect.
Morgan with the birthday goal  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:33 pm : link
Lindsay Horan made that goal. WHAT A SAVE by Naeher from a crazy shot outside the box. Lots of action
This is  
Nick in LA : 7/2/2019 3:34 pm : link
a fun game so far. Morgan goal was perfect
Fantastic  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:34 pm : link
save.
England is a lot more clinical than France  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:36 pm : link
aside from one slip by Mead in the box they've had 2 chances...a goal and a 25-yard perfect shot saved wonderfully by Naeher
A lot of top  
sshin05 : 7/2/2019 3:37 pm : link
players on both sides and two scoring machines, should be a back and forth match.
2-1 USA at the half  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:47 pm : link
A little more clinical and we'd be out of sight but they've taken the attack to England well. This is a scary opponent though, one chance and they could be level
Again agree  
Bill2 : 7/2/2019 3:48 pm : link
England could have taken France. They are very good
A  
AcidTest : 7/2/2019 3:50 pm : link
very exciting game. High quality play by both sides.

is #1 on my list. My wife knows it and just accepts it.
Rapinoe reportedly sidelined with a hamstring injury  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 3:57 pm : link
so they most likely won't have her the rest of the world cup

That England attempt would have been ruled out for VAR  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 4:06 pm : link
Bright was offside on the free kick
The US needs to possess the ball more in the 2nd half  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 4:11 pm : link
Soaking up pressure against England is not wise because of how good their finishers are (especially Ellen White)

Agree, they need to slow up the counter unless its there. England midfield is too good to keep giving up the ball.
Anyone have a link to a free streaming

CHANCE spurned

Telford gives it away but Press fires a shot way over. Morgan was wide open for a tap in
Lavelle said she injured her hamstring  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 4:20 pm : link
She'll have to be subbed
England equalizer ruled out by VAR  
dpinzow : 7/2/2019 4:25 pm : link
Ellen White was offside
