US will have to play well but it’s the right game for them to come out with the A game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 @plenzmd1 if you start driving now, you can be to Cincy by 3pm. Speed a lot. I have two growlers to be filled at the local brewery that will be employed for the game. Hoping for a riveting match no matter the outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the green light from my boss to check out at 2:50 today. Hammer down to the watering hole by 3:05. Should have some beer and grub by 3:15 and cruise into a 9 day weekend......also saw on the news this morning that it could reach 105° in France today. Not sure if or how that gives anyone an advantage. Edited June 28, 2019 by RaoulDuke79 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that was what kept it close but it did help. If they do, maybe Ellis brings in Press (not my favorite) for speed. Press lacks finishing quality but she is fast as heck.

GoBills808 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Should be a pretty even game imo. Physicality of US is probably the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the front three haven't really been at their best since Thailand. I like Press because she's always willing to make the run. If you're a defender that sucks knowing it only takes a split second to 'flip off' and you're f***ed. If France does push the D up, I'd like midfield to have Horan and Mewis. Both have the range to flip the field effectivelyand help create width. Maybe put Ertz into the defense? Really curious what Ellis decides to do.

eball Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I guess I'll watch this one today. Seems pretty hyped. Beware the "playing at home" factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Hats off to the French squad, they pressed it all game. That said, the US side deserved it entirely. Should have been a finals matchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
