I'm American and support the US women but I'm also partial to Costa Rica having spent alot of time there. CR's goalkeeper made some great saves and kept them in it. That small country probably spends next to nothing on their female national team but they still show up and play. A draw is actually a pretty big result for them against the US.

The lack of striker is evident. Can't build a team with a bunch of wingers, no matter how talented they are.

Zero zero vs Costa Rica feels like a loss

APPLAUSE for the Costa Rican team, which was outmatched heavily, but fought courageously on defense to a 0-0 tie !

Same issue as last Olympics, couldn’t finish anything

[NorthernThaiGardenGuy]

Most impressive thing about this match was Costa Rica's keeper. 👍👍

[StepnieW]

The first touch in soccer in the US should be emphasized more at all levels.
Smith, Swanson, Horan, and Rodman's first touch failed them in the first half.

And they are facing the deadliest striker in world Barbra Banda.. Vamos!!!

USA is so disappointing against small teams like Costa rica 😂😂

[xvariabledesign]

great game. They are finally evolving as a team and making most of collective talent. Looking forward to olympics:)

A draw is considered a Victory for Costa Rica because they defended very well against constant attacks by the US and the goal keeper made many wonderful saves. The current US National Team does not play as well as their previous National Teams. What a shame!

[budoshi]

They played very well they created chances. They are getting better paying together.

[StepnieW]

Horan as a number 10 is not going to work. She's too slow going forward. She needs to stay as a central midfielder.

[StepnieW]

Emma Hayes's first mistake as a USWNT manager was not bringing in more attacking midfielders.
Ashley Sanchez and Croix Bethune would be excellent subs for Lavelle.

About the midfield: WNT can't win this tournament by playing both Coffee and Horan with Albert on the bench. Gonna need Albert's energy, endurance, and speed. By tournament end, Albert will be starting. I just hope it's not too late.

I dont know what s going on. Years before the uswnt scored five or six goals. Now it is impossible. I am longing for Press, Lloyd, Heath, Morgan, Rapinoe, Macario and Sanchez

[RayJames-mkyq]

This didn't look like the 0-0 teams of before that created no chances and could barely maintain possession. This scoreline could have been like 4-0 US if not for a bit of bad luck and/or exceptional keeping from Costa Rica. The US team looks strong heading into the Olympics.

[onlythemessenger]

The US of old would of scored, this team is not good, if you have an abundance of chances and you can’t put those in the back of the net, your not good… simple as that ..

[clsanders]

For a little perspective, #1 Spain lost to #30 Czechia 2-1. Stuff happens. That’s why they play the games. If Costa Rica had any intention of mounting attacks they likely would have been massacred. They essentially played defense all night. Their goalie also played very well. We actually scored a couple of times but were called offside.

I was going to say something about the game, but i coudnt think something else but Rodman's hair!!! She is so
