Spain Women and thoughts on ECNL

[LASTMAN14]

It was definitely a coaching issue, not having Pugh (Swanson), an unhealthy Lavelle, and playing Horan at the 10 rather than the 6/8 position. I don't see it as a player issue because those same players were very successful under Jill Ellis. Trinity Rodman is definitely a better team player under Emma Hayes. Hayes knows how to inspire and utilize players correctly.

Girma is young and already the best defender in the world.

I have to believe that a good part of Girma’s development came from where she played club soccer (DeAnza) and Stanford. Her current play epitomizes which she learned there.

Fantastic game at the men’s final this morning. Congratulations to Spain.

No kidding. That was a really fun game to watch. It had it all.

I don't think De Anza played that big of a role:
