ah man the USA vs Scotland game aired this morning and I missed it. There will be highlights on YouTune in a couple of hours.

spoiler alert:







(Game will not be televised in replay, so I don't think this is much of a spoiler):
#11 USA Wins 3-2 over #14 Scotland>

17 y.o. Reese D'Ariano scores the first goal on a backhand rocket and earns player of the match. Here highlight is imbedded in this article.

The pivotal play was probably an unforced turnover by the Scottish defense that led to an uncontested breakaway from Gladieux.

Argentina beat #5 Germany, also 3-2, so we are tied with Argentina in Pool play at 4 points. USA plays #5 Germany at 8AM on CBS Sports Network to decide the pool.

Top 2 teams in Pool B advance. USA advances by:
  • Beating Germany
  • Tying Germany
  • Losing to Germany, but with a better goal differential than Argentina losing to Scotland (unlikely)
If USA advances along with the other Pool B team, they then move to a new quarterfinal Pool along with the two Pool C winners. In that new quarterfinal pool the already completed game versus either Argentina (likely) or Germany will automatically count. So we could enter that pool already with a tie against #2 Argentina and 1 point in the bank.

I only have one question, Will Floor be coming in next year? Thanks Tommy for all that you do. I appreciate all of your videos, podcasts, and efforts. Have a great day.

Thank-you, 3397char.
If you have the WC Pass, you can still watch it on demand as I did this AM.

For now, let me offer this.

Excellent play-by-play and description by Charlie Brougham with color provided
by Toby Velter.

A short video that captures an expression of surprise and pure joy in equal measure.

Wow, Reece D is something special. What she is doing at age of 17 unheard of. She reminds me of Chloe H in Lacrosse and the high school in young lady in soccer. These three are phenoms in their perspective sports. I am so glad that all three of them are and will be Tarheels. Go Heels!

About the 30 second mark, recognize anyone just after Melissa Gonzalez?

The voice of Charlie Brougham calls the 2018 London World Cup USA vs England game.

Matson interview this week. I'll comb this thread for questions but I'll say, I'm not going to walk in with a scroll of questions....so narrow them down! lol

Should be a good sitdown with Coach Matson as things get rolling this season.

Wow! If we have Dani back this would seriously alter the trajectory of this season. She participated in media day… This would be some cruel joke if she does not end up on the roster. Fingers crossed!

First day of practice I thought I saw Dani in a video posted to IG - but I assumed it was a recycled video from last season.

Can someone check on this to see if that information about Dani is true? With Floor not being here for this season, there is / should be a spot available. Maybe this can be a question for Tommy to ask Erin.

Not sure why they have declined so much. I guess saying you don't want Erin Matson was karma. Congrats to Ashley she got a goal and didn't win squat. I don't why UNC fans like her. She doesn't like Erin or Ryleigh. Her mother is helicopter parent, doesn't realize barely anyone in America cares about FH. Her daughter not going to be IG famous. I'll give her credit she transferred to right school. What's funny is Zimmer got all credit for winning those national titles.

I guess Ashley wanted to be the number one option and she wanted to be pampered, etc. Erin was not going to do that and I love Erin for that. I believed Erin wanted her to work for it. The same way Karen S. made her work for it. She just did not give the keys to Erin when she had her first practice. I will leave analogy by two Duke players here. Christian L stated that the reason why he hated Bobby H was because when he first got to Duke, Coach K made him work for it, but when Bobby came, Christian L stated that he gave Bobby the keys from day one. I can see Ashley being something like that and her parents were probably a headache to deal with. Ryleigh H was just as good and Ashley IMO was afraid of the competition and that is one of the reasons why she left and probably why she hated Ryleigh. I really did like Ashley and I was sad when she left, but know I see the picture now about her and her parents.
