Good to see both teams get a win. Lots of film for both teams to analyze going forward. Hopefully everyone did not have any severe injury. Good luck in Colombia.

Y'all can't afford to put score up on screen?

How come there's no score posted?

This coach has produced subpar results with this talented group. Emma will implement her tactics and philosophies to the lower level coaching. That’s what makes Spain so successful. Their tactical philosophies are taught at a young age to prepare them for each level of competition. Transitioning from the youth level to senior will be more fluid. You already know the system by that time.

USA experiment(?) with a hybrid 3-4-3 on offense / 3-3-4 on defense, with Taitano dropping back.
11 Emeri Adames, 9(c) Ally Sentnor, 7 Giana Riley
18 Sofia Cook, 16 Maggie Taitano
20 Samantha Courtwright, 10 Ally Lemos
13 Leah Klenke, 23 Nicki Fraser, ​5 Elise Evans
1 Mackenzie Gress

Korea start the same players as on Fri 05/31, but rotated around. I think they also flexibly switch in the run of play a lot.
10 Bae Ye-bin, 7(c) Jeon Yu-Gyeong, 16 Cho Hye-Young
9 Park Soo-Jeong, 17 Hong Chae-Bin, 6 Kim Shin-Ji
2 Jung You-Jin, 4 Nam Seung-Eun, 5 Eom Min-Kyoung, 14 Cheon Se-Hwa
1 Woo Seo-Bin

RB #14 Cheon very often overlaps up and provides width, whereas USA's back 3 never go forward.

USA is bigger but slower. Can connect passes and can't defend. Similar to club soccer, picking the big tall girls instead of the smaller, faster and more skilled players. Why do the defenders keep backing up when the ball is inside the 18 yard box, just giving the opponents time to shoot or pass without pressure.

I'm still not comfortable with this u20 team. There are lots of talented young girls in that country that can be called up to play the u20 world cup, why all this embarrassment.
