USA vs Spain | Women Soccer Oct 11,2022

That's putting it lightly. I'm glad they're losing. Maybe they can learn to enjoy the taste of Humble Pie. Quit focusing on politics and get on with the game.

This Spain team has 9 players from Real Madridfem alone which makes them know themselves better than USWNT.

@@NanaKwekuNyarko You mean chemistry?

@@minkymott có thể làm

Esther's goal was really good!!! It was brilliant.

Reports of the US' demise are greatly exaggerated. Don't write off the world champion over one game which had little if anything to do with what the US machine is able to produce if they have to. The rookies and second-tier midfielders the US proffered are hardly a measure of what the USWNT is capable of. So, hold your horses. Wait until Australia. Then let's compare how Spain and the US compare. Players like Athenia and Olga who are skillful in the martial arts will learn quickly that their foul antics won't cut it on the world stage.

@@hanssinkovec8107still have the same thought?

@@hanssinkovec8107that aged badly, knocked out by Sweden at penalties 😂 Maybe the US demise isn’t exactly over exaggerated, they have been cocky and didn’t sing their national anthem, plus this team is the WORST USWNT in the World Cup. Maybe explains why they got knocked out so early.😊

the usa machine was good at beating housewifes that where getting no support for women sports at their countrys, now that the whole world is slowly going pro that USA machine is starting to look outdated.

She is an amazing player, i like her!

Well when you get old you get fragile and you don't want to get roughed up, better to kick the ball and get golden boot award.

@@lesliesimon7491 Your cynicism is not warranted. But like an old horse, there comes a time when burnt out players need to be put out to pasture. Rapino even in the best of times was a lousy corner kicker and she only has gotten worse. Now at nearly 38 years of age she could leave gracefully and let younger and better players take over the forward left flank.

Horan is slow and the opposite of nimble. She lumbers along and doesn't always put in 100%. Horan is handled like Williams: Coaches' pets who can do no wrong and will play forever. Beats me what the coaching staff sees in those two.

Very few of these girls were in the WC team, tho. But the playstyle remained.

Do not be surprised. Remember. This is a woman's team that got beat by a Boy's high school football team. Yes they did. Look it up. They can whine about how it was just a scrimmage, but they knew full well going in that if they got beat by a Boy's team, it was game over politically.

@@minkymott Stop it. You're making yourself look ignorant.

@@PhotographyDrews seriously? That's all you got? Point out one thing I said in that post that is ignorant. You can't. I don't bow before Miss Pink Hair. I'm not surprised they lost. Because I know for a fact how mediocre they are against real competition. To tell you the truth, you just proved your ignorance. Why don't you come back and report to me when you have something intelligent to say.

*waves from Canada who also kicked USA butt recently… 🥇🏆😜

@@minkymott a Boy's high school football team.. It was the Dallas Academy FC team , not a high school team , and if you look at the photos , some of those " boys , are 6 foot plus. One of them now plays in seria A in Italy. It was a practice game , to prepare for an upcoming international. I'm not whining that it was a scrimmage game , i'm interested in you getting your facts correct.

You are not over rating your team . You are under rating the Euro teams. and whats with this u 20 stuff ?

this is hardly the first team. but this crop of players is definitely a step down from the 2019 and 2015 team for sure

@@xetothexno it’s not everyone else is just catching up to the USA

A couple wins have made the Europeans arrogant 😭😭

@@Lalaland-og9xr Have they ? The top European teams know that anyone team could beat another team on any given day. I'll respect the Usa team because they can beat England. But with the same respect that i give to Spain , Germany , Sweden , Brazil etc. The Usa lostagainst the 3 top teams in Europe, one after the other. And very nearly lost 4 games on the trot for the first time in their history. There is a reason for that. Is the Usa now so bad, that they lose 3 games in a row? Or that the Euro teams have turned pro and are now as good as the Usa? No arrogance over here , mate. Ask Alex Morgan how her tea is.

spain running circles around US

I think one reason they're losing is because they've gotten lazy. Unlike the US Men's team, they get paid whether they play or not. No one dares critisizes them for fear of being labeled a bigot. So they know if they lose, they still get paid AND they don't have to deal with facing the real problem: they suck. They've gotten used to "We're not being treated fair!" and eveyrone just folds.

Your happiness will be further increased because they will lose against Germany too.

So happy they lost, in general. I hope they keep losing. Love the US. Best Country ever. But I do not like this team. Too much whining when they lose. Too many excuses, not enough focus on the game.

@@minkymott agreed ..my thing is keep politics out of it .. especially when you live in the best country for the most part on this rock and get paid better than most ,

@@bennemeth382 I couldn't agree more. AND you're getting paid more than the men's team is.

@@bennemeth382 when you live in the best country Ummm , if you are referring to the Usa , i cant find any survey , poll , or chart that lists usa as #1. It struggles to make the top 10. but lets keep politics out of it :)

Pity none of that made sense.

You may have noticed that red cards are an absolute no-no with today's crop of referees. Even yellow cards were hardly seen in this game. That does not mean that red cards, even at a first serious and deliberate and pain producing foul should not be applied. They should but they aren't. And as far as the farcical use of yellow cards is concerned, the universal application that has evolved no longer intimidates players. This is because no referee in dozens of games I have viewed in which plenty of yellow cards were issued, was there a single case, in which a player's second grievous foul resulted in a red card. Refs are afraid to use red cards or are instructed by FIFA to keep them hidden in their pockets. This makes yellow cards totally meaningless.

Name 22 players from the Spanish first and second team then.

Are u serious? Do u know about the 15 spanish player that left the team Cuz of their coach? Search It Up... Spain was missing ballon dor winner Alexia putellas, Aitana bonmati, MAPI León, ona Battle, Patri guijarro..

Sanchez and Lavelle are the only playmakers/passers. The rest are cherry pickers and looking for penalty kicks.

@@scoobydoo9049 Lavelle is overrated. She does certain things well but her accuracy when firing at the goal is pathetic. She misses more shots than the old work horse Rapinoe and that is saying something.

So, where was the first string? Is there even such a thing? Why did they not play? Surely, they cannot all be on the injured list. Conflict of schedule with their home team? Too tired?

@Roy van Broiehuizen Agree. Also makes me think we were not worried about winning. Why would we start Hailie Mace and other players with so few caps if we really were concerned about winning this game?

Wow there being deluded and then there’s deluded with rose tinted glasses on . If you look at USWNT achievements in womens football they are hardly wins but gifts! For many decades USA had the only professional football league supported by the pay to play collegiate system whereas other countries had none of this and have had to build the leagues, infrastructure and funding for the womens game. The 4 World Cups that the USWNT have can hardly be said to have been won against equally competitive teams at the time ! So it’s easy to claim superiority in a one horse race for decades and the US were basically gifted these trophies due to them having the privilege of circumstance prior to the growth of the womens game else where in the world. The competition is only now becoming competitive and a plethora of European teams stand a chance of beating USWNT.

USA won the last 2 World Cup back to back, so you are saying that other teams has suddenly caught up with them in a span of 4 yrs? Of course they cannot win every time but to say they won the cup against equally competitive team in the past is pure bullshit- Your comment simply don’t make sense and you sounds a hater of the USWNT😂

@@leonciobarrera7965 can you not read ….I said they didn’t win against teams that were equal in ability previously….hence it was a one horse race ……easy to claim supremacy when there is no competition! But in answer to your question Yes European teams have closed the gap and are now competitive against USWNT as well as Canada and Japan. Not a hater I’m just capable of looking at the USWNT Apparently amazing achievements in context. The World Cup trophies were hardly won in a competitive manner when at the time there was NO competition!

@@barrycarey7521 What NO competition you are talking about? For your info Germany has won the WC twice, Norway and Japan are former champion too. So it is definitely not a one horse race like what you are trying to imply. Out of the 4 WC they won 2 are won on penalty shootout. So you obviously talking nonsense again

In football, four years are an eternity. What was then cannot be magically transferred to today. These 4-year FIFA events start from scratch each time. There is no money in the bank from past glories. You've got to scramble each time from nothing again, notwithstanding a couple of hangers-on old-timers the coach just can't live without, like Sauerbrun and Horan.

England Germany Spain , maybe Australia.

The first goal I mean from spain

Its the other way round actually. B team is usually 4 or 5 starters from 1st lineup. USA B with Becky, Lavelle, Horan, Rapinoe from Tokyo Olympics. C lineup is normally with 1 or none. Spain C with none of their 9 Barca starters & Ona Batlle

Don't be shocked. They lost to a Boy's high school team last year. Yes they did.

Don't even. US women's team just sucks. Period.

@@minkymott Le estas quitando mérito a España, tu sabes poco de fútbol.

@@minkymott @minkymott 2 months ago Don't be shocked. They lost to a Boy's high school team last year. . who lost? usa or spain? and which high school ?

I understand putting Rodman in. When she gets an opportunity, she can run that ball and create chances for the team. She is definitely doing better, but the team as a whole could improve.

"Lose, don't excuse". Michael Jordan.

Life

Danny. Quick history lesson for you. The Usa has a very good college system set up, which provides excellent players to the National team. Europe does not have that kind of a system. It relies on the professional clubs forming a Womens side , and the women get all the facilities, training , funding similar to the mens. So now ( since the last WC ) European teams are turning professional , and catching up with the Usa very fast. The England and Spain losses might be friendlies and in Europe , but , a top team will face other top teams anywhere and in any competition. That is the Usa's 8th game against top 10 teams in 3 years. England have played 8 top 10 teams in the last ' year' . Every game the Usa play will be tough ' because ' they are WC holders and #1 rank. Everyone wants to beat them. The difference is , now that Euro teams have caught up , they ' can ' beat them.

america are stinky

pay them more thats the problem .. right purple haird one ?

@@bennemeth382 you got my blood pressure up for a second there...haha, good one. :)

They got their equal pay now they have gotten lazy

yes all rapinoe does is kick the ball somewhere hoping it is good

Talking about Rapinoe overshooting corners. That has been her trademark all along. I cannot, for the life of mine, understand, why this and the previous trainer were so hooked on and insisting on Rapinoe shooting all the corners. She has always been lousy at it. When she isn't playing and corner shots are spread out randomly between several players, we get better results in the aggregate. One of the great moments in American woman football will be when Rapinoe officially retires from the national scene. Let her do her grandstanding, her ego trips and her politics, but, please, get her of the grass for good.

Eso de perder tiempo lo hacen todos los equipos del mundo, es patético PERO LO HACEN TODOS, por lo tanto si USA hubiese ido ganando también lo hubiese echo. Por lo tanto no hay debate.

@@tysonbcn9375 sorry I don't speak Spanish🌈

@@seawench555 hit " translate to English " simple 🤷‍♂️

I disagree. I like to use this analogy. When a mother pig has a litter of babies, if one of those little piglets starts screaming at feeding time, she rolls over and smothers it. Because that screaming little piggy gets her all nervous, and it makes the other little piggies go berserk. So mommy pig doesn't produce enough milk, out of stress. And everyone suffers. So. They need to get rid of Little Miss Purple Hair. She's the problem. Trade her. She's taking focus off the game with her politics, making everyone else lose focus and not produce.

@@minkymott Amen.

Not only are those player too old now, but they failed to make an impact in the WSL. The European game has passed the USA by.

You make an excellent point. The hasty rejuvenation of the team just has been overdone. Yes, some of those tried and true not-so-young players can still play circles around the youngsters we are now saddled with. Rapinoe should not play, not because she is too old but because she has become slow, inaccurate and basking in her glorious past. She has always been a selfish player who cares little for her playmates as long as she can take off some of her clothes in front of a camera and perform her tiresome antics. For 90 minutes there is not a moment when she doesn't know exactly where the cameras are. Vanity in the extreme, how unbecoming and embarrassing to watch.

Yes 2 losses in a row

Why are you shocked 😲? Do you think we are rubbish?? Our Women are fully professional now... This was Spain's B team lol... Our Coach IS rubbish! but are women are not.

@@manuelrodriguez2637 Otro idiota que defiende a las malcriadas pues este mal entrenador le ha ganado a usa con el equipo b cuando el las malcriadas del A nunca pudieron ganarle yo lo dejo ahí igual el problema no era el entrenador sino las jugadoras

What happened? They didn't get paid enough. I thought every evil man on earth knew that. Pay them more and they'll win. That simple.

They lost to a second string England team, and then a 2nd string Spain side. Their day has gone.

Nah, it never gets old. We're finding out these snowflakes can't take criticism when they lose.

Ya' think? :)

@@minkymott could well be the case

When you feel entitled rather privileged. These new team should be kept no matter what. Those 15 players had a backing from someone of authority.

@@NanaKwekuNyarko absolutely spot on.

Nahh the frontline always the problem the midfield from those 15 or 18 player is still superior (Alexia, patri,aitana, Pina)

I'm not going to go through each Spanish player to check their ages. Spain , the same as England and Germany , have a squad of at least 22 players. Any 11 can make the team. Just because its not the ' usual ' starting 11, does not make them a poor team. Barcelona ladies are possibly the best club team in the world , so if there are any Barca players in that team , they'll run you off your feet and out pass you .

Contact is part of football. The USA women weren't inmaculate either, they did their good share of pushing.

She is doing fine, especially with how her knee is! Anyone would make that face if they landed uncomfortably 😅

Cringe + she's probably uswnt most complete midfielder

the great horan

@@paramountneo9588 uh no..she is slow as shit. And lacks dribbling skill

Spain are tough , not dirty. England , Germany , Italy all the top teams are tough. Thats how the womens game is now.

@@richard6440 I hope you are wrong. There are several thoughts here. Timid and uncaring referees allow martial arts to have entered Women football. Stricter application of the official rules of the game would reduce the fouls. Another thought: There needs to be a distinction made between accidental collision type fouls and deliberate, hurtful fouls. The later show meanness, not toughness. They spoil the game because the lengthy goings-on when the medical support folks show up break up the flow of the game. Fouls are unwanted disruptions that contribute nothing to the enjoyment of the game. And remember, football is an entertainment medium. People want to be entertained, not bothered with lengthy intervals of inaction.

@@hanssinkovec8107 Then i respectfully suggest you watch mens football , if you think womens is dirty. A lot of people watch womens football in Europe because there are ' less ' fouls , less rolling around. The women concentrate on playing football . no one gains when the ball is dead ( out of play. ) Womens football , at the top, is now pro. Teams are faster, stronger , tougher , more trophies to win , more competitive. Fouls do happen , mostly accidental , few on purpose. Very few in the womens game , compared to the mens. Let the Usa women play in Europe for a season , then they'll see that it is " that " competitive :)

Los estadounidenses no ponen excusas para perder con sus habilidades.

Spain's dirty play? Both men and women Spain teams are the professionals . They are the top teams for passing the ball and controlled the ball in the field.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but African Moors and other Ottoman tribes occupied 70% of the Iberian peninsula for nearly 700 years not all that long ago in historical terms. It stands to reason that some African blood got mixed with white. I have spent years in Spain and saw firsthand that the further south you traveled the darker the people became.

@@hanssinkovec8107 Not to put too fine a point on it, but That because of the Sun exposure, Nothing to do with Moors LOL XD, Study some History and Genetics before saying nonsense Things. P.S. I live in Spain and what you say is not true, Spain is fairly Homegenous North to South, its not like Italy.

I dont know what you say, but Your projections doesnt work for a White Western European country like Spain, what I really know is that Spain (And the Rest Europeans) they see USA as lesser and not like a White country but a ''Brown'' country i.e. LatinoLand.

I dont Know where are you from (Pobably a Latino/Non White) but You extrapolate and Project your own Inferiority Complex, But your Projections and Complexes doesnt work for a White Western European country like Spain. So, I dont Know what you say, But What I really know is that Spain (And the Rest Europeans) see the USA & Americans AKA ''Amerimutt'' as lesser and not like a white country but a Brown 3rd🌎country i.e. LatinoLand.

Europe has caught up , thats all. You've had it easy for decades. Now that European teams are turning professional , you have a fight on your hands. Welcome to football :)

SOCCER IS REALLY, MORE OF A EUROPEAN GAME AND NOT AN AMERICAN GAME AND THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR DECADES. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE MUCH MORE EXPERIENCED AT IT. AMERICA'S GAME IS BASEBALL AND BASKETBALL AND ARE MORE EXPERIENCED AT THOSE TWO GAMES.

Because Spain took time settling them. However once they did, US midfield was almost taken out of the game.

@@MrSudeepdas The Spanish played intelligently; that defensive formation should be studied.

@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music This is a bit long I'm afraid. As Julie Foudy spotted - Spain (mostly Real Madrid) played with a 5 back defense that often morphed to 3 as Olga & Oihane went overlapping down the flanks. Plus their midfield of Maite Oroz, Zornoza & Maitane effectively cut off US pipeline. With 3 CBs Spain congested their central defensive 3rd & blocked quite of few shots allowing only 2 on goal. Towards the end a frustrated USWNT defense went back to their "lob it to Abby" mode of 2015 & earlier. Very uncharacteristic of what I consider the most technical USWNT ever. One way to counter this is to employ tall forwards to take advantage of shorter Spanish defenders (only Rocio Galvez is 5'-8"). Surprisingly Sweden didn't start their 5'-10" & 5'-11" forwards in Stina B & Lina Hurtig respectively. Another way is to use both physicality & high level of technical ability like Barca had done since Real Madrid's birth in 2020. They have used Jenni / Oshoala along with their mesmerizing ball movement to crack open Real's defense in numerous games. However in last 2 UWCL quarters Real managed to compete with Alexia & co. by improving physicality that showed against USWNT as well. In fact in the 1st leg Real had Barca on the back foot for almost an hour pressing aggressively like a pack of wolves. One fact though - Laia Codina, the central defender who scored 1st, is from Barcelona. Extremely unfortunate that Spanish women football has blown up into a Barca vs Real Madrid issue.

@@MrSudeepdas Please forward that to USSF along with a plan for how to beat Sweden. Maybe we need that five fullback scheme; we were using a good midfield. Hope Solo saved our ass a lot and this is the first time in the history of the USWNT that we don't have superhuman goaltending; maybe we need to make an adjustment at the back to reflect that.

@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music I am sure Vlatko & co. are aware of all this. Agree about Hope Solo. I am excited by 6'-1" Casey though. Tall goalies with strong hands are a must for any team in WoSo that wants to be successful.
