Not this nonsense again. It was a low-level training match for the USWNT where they were trying out different tactics (playing players out of position, etc.) before a real match against Russia.
- talldatethrow 3y agoYou can phrase it however you want. If you're going to meet to try tactics, against a group of boys that don't even play like the women's Russian team, you must care somewhat. And they got crushed. End of story.
- zimpenfish 3y ago> If you're going to meet to try tactics, against a group of boys that don't even play like the women's Russian team That's not the point of trying out new tactics, though - it's to see whether your players can cope with the systems and being played out of position. The opponent almost doesn't matter because when you're playing unfamiliar tactics and out of position, you're likely to lose against whoever you play. Much like getting a Bridge team to use a bidding system they've never used before - doesn't matter if it's Omar Sharif and Pierre Zimmerman, they'll probably lose against mid-level opposition AND IT MEANS NOTHING.
