Why is it in sports they when a team underperforms its always attributed to the same thing: they didn’t want it had enough. Kind of silly. Maybe the other teams talents matched or surpassed your team. It’s a tired canard. It’s always some variation about “how you didn’t want it bad enough”. Like Bobby Knight screaming at some kid who just missed two free throws that he doesn’t want it. It’s just one of those stupid things you hear over and over.

People can want to win very badly and not execute well. They are two totally separate things.

I would agree and to me it is all about the execution of the players. The international talent level is up but most people believe that the US Team has the better Talent(with the gap not as wide vs some Teams). But they had better talent in the last round but it was lack of execution.

They've given up one goal in three games. Their talent will carry them IMO.

should be a great final 16 Knock out round style. And we had upsets like Italy, Canada, and Brazil knocked out

and teams like South Africa, Nigeria, and Jamaica getting in.

Default World Cup

Spain and Japan looking GOOD today. Tomorrow is a fascinating game for
the USWNT. Talk about being backed into a corner with a lot to prove! That
game should speak volumes- one way or another- about this WCup squad.
Looks to me like several teams play better soccer than USWNT, or at least
do so more consistently. Soccer is compelling in that so much scrutiny can
be dumped onto the #1 team. Gonna be a must watch for me... Trent King
