So many fans are mad at Carli… but guess what, she’s right.

It’s what I said before the tournament. A lot of people feel like they can’t criticize women’s sports teams. But if you want it to be on the same level as men’s sports and want it to be treated the same way, you have to take criticism when it’s due.

100%. I’m just glad she called out the entitlement and complacency. Maybe fox and Vegas will realize we aren’t that good. Fading the USA against the spread was 3/3 in the group. That should tell you something. But Atleast we get the super hero rapinoe commercial slammed down our throat while other countries actually focus on playing as a team.

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I feel like the line up should be
Smith
Williams Rodman
Dunn Sanchez Horan Fox
Girma Ertz Cook
Naeher

I’m fine with a couple changes, but it allows Dunn to play much higher and puts Smith up top.

I want Carli to rip them


She isn't going to bash her teammates.

Should have waited a few years to put her in the studio.

I like it but I don’t think the lineup or formation matters with this team. They don’t gel. A very poor comparison is watching the mls allstars get crushed by whatever club team they play. We play for ourselves while the other teams play for their badge.

She is destroying them. And it’s awesome. She knows the problem but is dancing around it.

Yeah, that’s pretty spot on to what Hingst just said. 11 individuals.

Good example was when Rapinoe ran 35 yards up the pitch and no one followed her and then it just puts one person out of position.

We just miss Carli, Becky, and Sam so badly.

But we still have people like Julie, Lindsay, Crystal, and Alex that have been here before and should be leaders for the team. That’s the sort of thing I don’t get.

It’s so funny because so much of the fanbase is that same way. Mad at people calling out the US team instead of being upset with the actual players on the pitch.

Accountability. Something none of these players have. O’haras interview basically summed that up.

Watching stu and these broads is tough. Sunshine pumpers. I can’t stand lalas but Atleast him and Carli call a spade a spade.

Heather O’Reilly has called out the team before. When they lost to Germany this year she was pretty harsh on the culture and the performance.

Maybe she’s trying to balance out Carli and Alexi?

Lack of leadership is glaring with this team. O’Hara is trying to play that role but her interview post match was pretty telling.

There are the things that you say outwardly to the media and things that you say behind closed doors.

Also you KNOW it’s bad when the USWNT is potentially only going to make it as far in the World Cup as the USMNT.

But I thought Megan was the leader of this team

They sure made her the face of it in the media

She’s become bigger than the squad and it’s a problem

Complacency. We have a bunch of players that think they are owed a World Cup because of what the players did before them. It’s become the American way and it’s why I hope these broads get humbled. Dancing and celebrating after getting outclassed. It’s embarrassing. Captain America rapinoe commercial getting rammed down our throats is why no one takes this seriously. Our federation is an absolute joke.

Thats basically what Carli said In The post match banter. She just couldn’t go that far because she knows her reputation would get destroyed for telling the truth.

They really said that? She was awful outside of a decent thru ball which Morgan aborted. Not surprised if they did though.
