USWNT VS NZL (5-0)

Have you ever seen a hattrick of own goals? well feast your eyes on this. In the She Believes Cup, the U.S Women's National Team beat New Zealand WNT 5-0 and 3 of them were own goals by New Zealand CB, Meikayla Moore. The goals were the worst kind of unintentional own goals i’ve ever seen.

FORMATION

We’re already in the business half of the season with 3 more months left to go. Changing formation now, IMO, isn’t ideal anymore. Changing starting XI personnel on the other hand...

FREEKICKS

Our free-kicks, we haven’t had a single consistent dead-ball specialist from distance for some years now. We’ve scored very few freekicks the last 3 years, and we hardly win fouls in dangerous areas around the box. Kroos is good for the indirect freekick but we need someone who can pin it on goal directly.
