    I'm okay with that. She was better as a change of pace player to be brought in as a sub during these games. Looks like we're sticking with the 4-4-2 for this game, which I'm not sure I agree with against a very stout offensive setup by Germany. Gotta hope our back line holds up tonight.

    4-3-3 lineup actually. May not play out that way but that's how it is written on paper

    If we have to keep running back against Germany because of turnovers, then I think I see us quickly going back to a 4-4-2 in my opinion.

    We've gone 400+ minutes without conceding a goal. Very few shots on goal during that stretch, too. I'm way more worried about our offense. The D is sick.

    We're looking good early. Creating chances and putting pressure on the Krauts. D is holding up about as well as you could hope for against the best offensive team in the tournament so far.

    And as I type, a SPECTACULAR save by Angerer keeps Morgan from punching in the go ahead goal. Damn.

    Pace has been really quick lately. Back line is holding up fairly well.

    Yeah, we've been the most aggressive team and it hasn't been close. Love what we're doing, just wish we had something to show for it on the scoreboard.

    Morgan just can't seem to finish.

    Bring in Wambach at the 60' if the score is still 0-0

    Phenomenal first half but you have to take advantage eventually. Hope the energy level keeps up in the second half. I'd wait until at least 70-75 minutes to bring on Wambach. She can finish, but she will keep us from being as quick moving forward as well.

    If she scores in the 65' then it won't matter if she's slowed us down.. lol

    Either way, I feel like Wambach plays a key role in whether this game is won or not. But I hope we net one in the first 5 minutes and just completely demotivate Germany

    Huge penalty against Johnston and Germany fails to capitalize. Dammit, we need a goal NOW.

    Well obviously. My point is that the longer she's in the game, the less she gives us an advantage. She can help us on set pieces late, but she'll hurt the overall attack.

    We are getting so many corner kicks. I'd bring in Wambach because she is so good getting a head on the ball.
