I think missing Becky Sauerbrunn hurts a lot, as Julie Ertz has to play center back (says a lot about how good Julie Ertz is) instead of her natural position as a defensive midfielder.

Andronovski seems to be pretending he's coaching a premier league men's team, where the quality is so high that you can change your lineup on the fly and still be in sync.

I suspect that our ladies are going to be fired up against Sweden, but it's going to take more than individual aggression and flair to beat them.
