World Cup
WOW! Australia over France. If Netherlands had beaten Spain, it would
have been perfect (interesting that Spain's team has united despite
controversy, how refreshing...?)
I've been waking up at the odd hours, watching and enjoying these
matches. I've tried to imagine how the current USWNT would have fared
against these quarterfinalists, seeing if US just ran into a buzzsaw and was
somehow worthy of a quarter slot. The answer is no. Each of the teams I've
seen has been superior, particularly with short passing and offensive game
play, meaning players understanding and using each other to advantage.
The US #1 ranking was faux. Getting ready to watch England/Colombia and
don't have the desire to research, I just wonder if US #1 rank was built on
wins over clearly inferior teams. Anyway, Sweden and Spain should be
awesome and, if the stars align, so would an England/Australia matchup.
Great stuff!!
