I'll admit, I only tuned in for the 2nd half.
But yikes that was ugly. I get the wind factor, but man, it was all high energy, and very little attempts to move the ball on the surface. And from what I saw, the last 15 minutes, Germany really put pressure on the US, but didn't look very impressive either. Maybe it was the weather, since neither side looked impressive.... But again whats US soccer doing scheduling a game like this in the winter in Ohio anyway....Isn' the average high only around 40 degrees during feb anyway.
Either way, the weather sucked, the game was worse. Even Pugh looked like shes gone backwards. Perfect example, they subbed the south carolina player alum in at the 72nd minute, Savannah McCaskill. She played a central role and came in for Ertz. She touched the ball twice I think in 20 minutes, and both times she was fouled. Thats it.
