Nice Win. Lloyd's PK was great but O'Hara's run to beat the defender with the slight touch to score was fantastic. Plus, Sasic missing her PK changed it all for Germany.
Kind of hard to criticize the team when they are heading to finals however.... why did Abbey Wambach only play like 15 min? Is she hurt or tired? She played tons more than that during group play
That was more or less the true finals game right? the US and Germany are above and beyond the best women's teams I understand
Abbey didn't play that much because there are better options now. She was once the best we had. Not anymore.
It sounds like you are agreeing with me. What part isn't true? If you can't hold up, then that means there are better options, no?
Exactly! Abby is a set piece option anymore. You can't play the ball to her feet and she lacks the pace and quickness needed by a forward. Age has caught up to her and she isn't a full 90 or even 75 minute player anymore. Just look at the games Abby played substantial minutes, the complete style of play changes. Morgan, Press, Leroux, and even Rodriguez are all better up front than Abby.
