I thought Mitts stepped up early and then was exhausted and thought O'Reilly stepped up later but couldn't quite finish. I thought both Angela and Carli had some nice chances late. I did not understand the Tobin Heath substitution but then again, I guess there wasn't much left on the bench. I was looking for Wagner thinking that with fresh legs and late in the game, she could have helped. I was totally and completely disappointed with Kai; I thought there were at least two that she should have finished or at least gotten shots off. She seemed to be back to her old, can't-finish-to-save-her-life tricks. As for Boxx/Lloyd specifically, I don't know. Playing in the center is really, really hard; it's crowded, it's busy and the best players from the other team tend to be there. I would have left Tarpley in and pulled Kai. I don't think you have a replacement for Boxx or Lloyd; it did seem like Shannon got called for a lot of fouls. And I would agree that I think Hope made some bad decisions.

Ay. I can't even figure out at this point what lineup I'm hoping for on Saturday. A-Rod and Kai up top, maybe, if Kai can grasp that the patience and distribution she exhibited in the second half against Norway were good things. HAO and Tarp on the wings. In the middle? Hucles and... is Jesus available? Does he have a better first touch than Boxxy these days? Oh, the central midfield. Ay. I can’t even figure out at this point what lineup I’m hoping for on Saturday.

Out-hustled. Out-played. Painful to watch. That's the analysis from 3 1/2 Liberty Street. Oy! I'm counting on Pia to fashion a fantastic comeback--off to set my alarm clock for Saturday. Go USA!
