The issue about Tierna Davison and/or Casey Krueger, is that Chicago being the team with the most goals conceded then the problem are them or Alyssa Naeher, or worse it can be the problem are the 3.

[@jorgevelasquez9955]

Vladko is not up to the task. He lost 3 of the 4 games with top 5 teams who brought 2nd and 3rd string teams.

[@RJ420NL]

I’ve lost confidence in Andonovski. Some of the roster decisions he’s made this year are head scratching. I’m thinking it’s time to make a coaching change. I predict the U.S. doesn’t get out of the round of 16.

[@omargj1]

I think they they may get past the round of 16, but don't see they reaching the semis. Too many contradictions from what Vlatko has been saying previouisly and then doing with the calls.

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

yeah thats a good prediction. I believe we will make it to quarterfinals but lose to Spain. I wonder if Vlatko even watches the NWSL, because there are alot of quality players that should be called up that have no us caps.

Being the gritty and top-of-the-bunch NWSL goal-scoring forward that Hatch is, she ought to be on this roster. If any team decides to knock them around like Ireland did recently, I'd like to see Hatch in there dishing it right back. Speaking as a forward and comparing her to other forwards, Rapinoe isn't an impressive player. Leave her off for Hatch, who can also score PKs just as well and do much more. I'd like to hear the coach's rationale for some of these decisions.

[@chaoticodin09411]

I think they chose not to go with Hatch because she has no World Cup experience and she also gets flustered easily and can often cause senseless fouls. Just like they said, it’s more than just performance.

This roster is sub par, I would leave alot of players off the list. Its going to make winning even harder when you have a rocky backline. I think we are in trouble with no sauerbrunn replacement...

Vlatko is thinking she will be a supper sub, but im not convinced as other countries have drastically improved.

[@ourqueergarden1703]

I think there’s something to be said for the Sanchez, Rodman, Hatch chemistry. I would’ve chosen Hatch over Thompson. Rapinoe and O’Hara could have gone as non playing members of the team on the coaching staff or something. Leadership can look a lot of ways.

rapinoe is at the end of her career, ohara is not impressive, huerta is having a bad year, she cant cross a ball, sullivan is the harry maguire of our team with bad defending, ertz is midiocre and slow right now, sonnett is midiocre, thompson will vanish with tag team, and cook shouldnt be on the roster for day dreaming on the field. You usually try to bring your best to the world cup, but im here to tell you this is not the best.

[@TB-jt5dp]

First player mentioned is easy. Hatch instead of Rapinoe. Rapinoe will be useless other than maybe a couple group games. After that she can't keep pace. US team has a history of bringing players to the WC after they should have aged out. Rapinoe is just another in that line.

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

rapinoes time is done, yeah she can play 15 min in group stage, wow very impressive. She doesnt even start for her team, that right there should tell you everything you need to know. Her own teammate Balcer is wayy better than rapinoe, I would start calling up balcer yesterday.

[@KT-yb3bk]

I will say, that by bringing Demelo, Vlatko is basically opening the door for ANYONE. I can only hope the players that didn't make it have a stellar NWSL season!

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

he should drop alot of the older players, im a spirit fan, but Andi Sullivan has no buisness being on this squad respectfully. She makes atleast 2 errors per game due to day dreaming I believe. I would start calling up Del fava as a huerta replacement, morgan weaver is good, there are ALOT of other quality players in the NWSL, vlatko needs to open his eyes.

[@msponsler1]

You ask who should be bumped if Hatch is added. That's easy. Thompson should not be on the roster. She is a frail physically under developed high school kid with 3 caps. We have no idea how she'll perform at the WC level with that limited sample size. I want substance over flash. It's a travesty. Who backs up Morgan? Hatch has chemistry with Rodman. Hatch's experience and body of work blows Thompson out of the water. Hatch's club play is producing better results than Thompson and even Rodman. Her club team chooses Hatch to take corners and PKs over Rodman. I don't understand the disrespect.

[@a.d.zucker4010]

Hatch unlucky but luxury, not necessity, on this roster, given both Sophia Smith & Lynn Williams #9 versatility & efficacy at club level. Williams has been just as prolific as Hatch in NWSL, has more WNT caps/experience, while her speed, pressing ability, & tireless defensive work are all critical to Vlatko’s system. Especially missing Mallory Swanson, Alyssa Thompson’s game-changing speed, flare, & 1:1 audacious challenges needed more than traditional target CF limited to only that position. Frankly also question whether Hatch is world-class caliber. No doubt watching Thompson that she belongs at this level. Finally, Rapinoe’s advanced age, fitness, & minutes limitation on wing further demands another viable threat there; yet, her leadership & penchant for clutch play rising in the biggest moments necessitates her roster inclusion, politics aside. P.S.- Ertz returning as key set-piece aerial threat further undermined Hatch’s case. P.P.S.- Hatch also benefits at club level from silver-platter service courtesy of both Sanchez & Rodman (criminally underrated for her vision & playmaking, aside from scoring prowess). Yes, Hatch is a quality player but in isolation does not deserve a WC spot over any of the aforementioned players.

[@BeautyOutTheAshesWithJanet]

Would have brought 6 midfielders, placed Savanna on alternate list, Ashley Hatch on as another 9 player. Feel so sad for her.

[@powdrman30]

Yeah, I’d guess there are underlying reasons for some of the poor decision making when it comes to the roster. For me Andonovski is the first to go. Several of the senior players are obviously getting a little long in the tooth, and appear to be there mostly to make some kind of statement. I’m guessing between the aged and fresh behind the ears they’ll fail to live up to expectations.

[@machellovelivelife658]

That proves that Vlatko is an idiot, Coffey has clearly been the best #6 in recent times, Vlatko sufggested he was not calling her since she "lacks" international experience, but then he was not giving her call ups so she could play and earn that international experience, he even attempted to force Taylor Kornick in that position, then didn't call no one of them, but then calls Alyssa Thompson who while a very promising also could be said she lacked International experience, also called Savanah DeMelo who has been great but still lacks international experience.

[@DavidKAnderson]

​@@omargj1 Vlatko's been disappointing. Yeah, the team may well defend the title on the basis of a deep, skilled roster alone (well...and injuries to some key rivals), but I sure don't see much in the way of tactical insight from this coach and his staff.

[@station143studio]

@@omargj1 I agree and have no faith anymore on Vlatko managing this team. I feel like the whole process he basically throws things to the wall and see what sticks. After we lost in Olympics in a such bad way, he had plenty of time to come up and provide international experience with a greater younger cohesive lineup from our deep talent pool in NWSL. But after all these years, the WC lineup he came up with have multiple players that are not even in fit form, a high school player that only has several months of professional experience, and one other get called up with no cap at all. And now he expects the players to have good chemistry to compete in the highest level tournament only one month out? Unbelievable.

[@omargj1]

@@DavidKAnderson If England had not suffered that many injuries to some of the key players there was little doubt England would be the strongest candidate, if the USWNT gets to the final it will be more due to failure of the rivals that own merit, the frustrating is with a coach with a bit of more common sense that wouldn't be the case, and the USWNT would have been the strongest candidate.

Listen, this team may not make it out of the second round and much less to the final game, what is important here is the experience and confidence the youngster will gain. In the regard, Thompson and Demelo makes sense. These youngsters are good, but they don't have chemistry playing together and for that to come will need time. Player should take the chance of playing for the national team seriously; size it and run with it: Ashly hutch did not show the enthusiasm on the field went her time was up and her play at league level has been that great either, she looks weak and timid, missed lot of goal in a team full of stars: she got to score goals...isn't she the #9 on the team (a striker)? she got score goal period.

You both egregiously missed Sam Coffey as a huge snub based on her stellar NWSL play this season after tremendous rookie debut last campaign. Frankly should have compared Coffey to likes of Andi Sullivan, a bigger, establishment name yet has lagged behind Coffey in form & production. Excuses made for Sullivan in Ertz-replacement extensive unsuccessful single-pivot #6 audition are a joke. Her failure in role necessitated style change to double-pivot. Yet her roster spot is still somehow sacrosanct?!! Esp when she is being routinely outplayed every week by Sam Coffey in same position. Gotta love USSF politics & coaching favoritism!

[@a.d.zucker4010]

Also not nearly enough talk of Casey Krueger’s outright, egregious snub! She deserved much more run in camps & tournaments this cycle & was hurt by not getting this exposure. Crucially, Krueger also shined in only WNT call-up game appearance. Significantly more athletic, faster, & better defensively than Emily Sonnett (& Sofia Huerta, for that matter) while offering similar CB/FB flexibility. Like Naeher, she has been more a victim of Chicago’s hapless play than an individual culprit this season-to-date. Fact is, Sonnett is adored by pivotal vet teammates & is most influential in off-field chemistry- but this is a luxury that should always be secondary to play on pitch!

[@TheNotoriousNemo]

i believe vlatko has alot of these roster spots wrong, none of the older players have impressed me besides Sauberbrunn, thankfully crystal dunn has gained top form, Ertz looks to be at 60% of her former self, not impressive at all. This whole leader off the field is total crap, but them tickets to the game and let them watch from the stands. I normally wouldnt care, but this year looks like the year we get knocked off

[@donmoore2684]

Megan, coming from a coach, please just give 100% while you are on the field and just play the game and leave all the rest behind. I didn't care much for you and never saw you play until TUBI started playing all the old World cup games from 2016 and 19. The team could use your leadership and focus on the game, not the rest. You can get back to that when you're playing days are over. When I was watching Mia H days I was also taking my Advanced National Course and what I loved about those teams were when one scored , they all came charging together to celebrate. I wanted to be an assistant coach on that team. Now, more and more, after scoring you run away from your team and make them catch you. (Not just you) I hope you do win, you are a much better player than I was guessing before watching. Good luck, GO USA. I'm afraid if you don't show by example giving 100% and don't go whining over calls and looking like the player that should retire, you will lead the team to a defeat.
