She was 1000% right. Why hasn’t then been more critical of the manager. He obviously has no control in the locker room. What you see on the field is a reflection of him.

There’s a reason Carli Lloyd wasn’t well liked. It’s because she wasn’t an ultra progressive. Pearce this is the equivalent of “nobody likes her anyway”. Come on, let’s do better. Her criticisms of both their play and their attitudes is valid.

Absolute disgraceful take boys. Unfair to Carli in my opinion. First you manufacture a reason for Rapinoe and others like they’re dancing on purpose to help the younger players. I guess they’re playing 4D chess. Carli was spot on and everyone on that set was saying the exact same thing. And comparing what she said to the men’s team is silly. We know there’s different expectations for the two groups.

Vlatko has gotta go. Really think he’s out of his depth with this squad. They look uninspired, he barely used any subs during the Netherlands game and tactically he’s made them look lopsided

Rapinoe should not be on this team. Alex Morgan should be benched. Mixing the old guard with the new players is a bad combo when everyone needs to kiss the ring of the old guard. The coach is forced to play Rapinoe and Morgan when it’s clear they should not be playing as it stands currently

Rapino ALWAYS Knows when the camera is on her. Time for her to retire. Could be today!

Carli Lloyd has a winning mentality. Repino(?) just likes to cause controversy whenever she’s in front of camera. We are back to back champs and this tournament we have played like CRAP. I’m a ST in a shit Sunday league side and if I don’t get at least 1 assist or goal I’m getting heated…

Carli's right. You guys are wrong, sorry. Celebrating gives the impression that what the team accomplished is good enough. Not celebrating sends the young players a message that how they performed is unacceptable, and it makes them that much hungrier to get after it on the next match to not experience that same feeling again -- a feeling that would be intensified if the World Cup favorites are eliminated against Sweden.

Simple: name one head coach on the mens world cup that would allow his team to celebrate and give a fashion show after a performance like the WN team for the USA in the WORLD CUP!

The only clicking this team will be doing is of their airplane tickets as they get back on the flight to go home after the Sweden game.

Other teams have wonderful combination play. Our team has none of that, and a large part of that is probably Vlatko.

I have been waiting for people to be critical of the women the same way they are of the men’s team, this was the perfect moment to agree with Carli, who needs no introduction, and say we ain’t it right now. In no way do we look like a championship team right now

I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff Carli Loyd has said, but she has hit the nail on the head with what she said. After all she has a right to feel that way from the dominant USWN she’s been in, to watching the team as frail and vulnerable

if you celebrate a crap performance because going through to the knockout phase is just mentality of the team. Celebrate a failure is a looser mentality

All of this is Vlatko. All of it. He has players badly underperforming. Tactics matter and he has none.

​@@musicful7036 Meh, I disagree. Brazil had a team with tons of talent and were arrogant and boisterous and they won. Hell, a team with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc. Come on now. The players are fine. What they don't have a manager with a system that forces them to play as a team much less a manager good at managing egos. Put in another context, Del Harris couldn't manage egos and didn't have a system that forced Kobe and Shaq to play together. However, Phil Jackson did. The triangle was the tactic needed to get them to work together. Phil was also great at managing egos. Vlatko has no system, -- so nothing the players must comply with that holds them accountable if they do not do their role -- he has no flexibility -- clearly, as he has stuck with the 4-3-3 despite it clearly not working -- and he cannot manage egos (obviously, or he would have benched Morgan by now and Rapinoe wouldn't be on this team). Everyone wants to turn this into a political diatribe or indictment against this team or wants to say "the rest of the world is catching up." It isn't either. This is simply what happens when you have a bad manager.

It's hard to expect very much from players who don't hate losing, or who are ok with playing terrible and "making it through". There's a degree of competitiveness that's missing. Lavelle looked distraught after the game. Nobody else did.

Probably because she’s out of the round of 16 game against Sweden

Vlatko showing us that Berhalter ball is just as bad in the women's game. Lobbing hopeless crosses into the box, no style, no connection play, no ideas, too rigid, no creativity. The older players seem to see this as their fun retirement party or farewell tour instead of wanting to pass this legacy on to the younger players. I am wanting badly for them to win but just not enjoying the performances so far, hope they can switch things up, change tactics, formations, player positions....anything, whatever it takes to find the best form of this team in the knock out stage. Just not sure this is in the wheelhouse for this coaching staff.

While you guys are saying that some of the criticism is 'over the top' I really think it's well-deserved. It's more than their play or lack thereof. They haven't really done anything to make America (as in previous WWC's) want to root for them. It's that they stand in silence for the National Anthem every freaking game. It's that they screamed sexism for equal pay even though they were being paid more (including during the COVID shutdown), it's that there only appears to be a one-sided activism mentality allowed there, it's that they crap on the country that has given them so freaking much. They wanted the fat-ass paycheck (off the men), they got it. Now they have to prove that they deserve it. They play like their shit don't stink. With the men it's very different- the USMNT is still learning to play against the best in the world and that last WC they played their hearts out (Pulisic goal against Iran). I haven't seen that level of effort from the women. Gimme an undergunned group that plays their hearts out any day of the year.

They can't handle that they are being exposed, because they are NOT focused on the game and it has seeped down to the youngers as well. That's why they need to go and USWNT needs to start fresh. I think only getting the boot out of the tourney will push that along.

Full respect for CL. Taking a knee when it comes to Megan. OK if Sweden sends this team packing.

Dad says "Carly's comment is so right and she is entitled to it. In the last World Cup, Carly's only goal made the USA team earn a medal!"

I would have been happier if they scrapped all the old players after the last WC- ALL of them- and gone with a youth movement.

It is fine celebrating reaching the next stage. The USA have just an ordinary team among many other teams that are just as strong or stronger and surviving a hard group stage where you are not the best team can be celebrated, look at Jamaica and South Africa.

Something is missing since Swanson's injury. I recommend this playlist for those who want to see how the big teams have evloved these 1-2 years kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqR5rrmRocbRXZs.html&pp=iAQB

Our federations ‘best’ skill seems to be hiring and keeping/rehiring mediocre coaches. The players should be sighing in relief making it through to the knockouts maybe tempering the celebration. Also, are their any players that have earned the right to criticize the USWNT more than Carli?

Sorry, celebrating like that was after sliding into the next round, looked bad. Hard to root for this team.

Yes! Thank you Heath, they did play like crap!

It is the tactics thats to blame, everything falls on Vlatko, the talent is here to dominate and put teams under pressure, but when Portugal dominates the USA for 90 minutes, that is a major problem. This team looks like they have no idea how to play, talk all you want about Jill Ellis, but she was a great coach, you have more than 12 players on the team, when you are allowed 5 subs, why is Vlatko not using them??? The Netherlands game was there to be had in the second 45, but he only made 1 sub, I think this team is tired, Sweden made 9 changes to their team last night and still won the game. I blame everything on the coaching, but i do agree 100% with everything Carli Lloyd said, there is alot of arrogance on this team and maybe getting knocked out in the rd of 16 will be the best thing to happen, sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to realize things need to change. Play for the name on the front, NOT the name on the back!!!

France has a lot of injuries...d cascarino,katoto,malard,mbock...3 definite starters

I just think women’s soccer in Europe has been improved so much in just the last 2 years that the best Europeans teams have surpassed the USA technically and tactically and can match their physicality, which was their main strength. You have these so called young world stars, but that all play in the NWSL, and no disrespect but the football in the NWSL is nowhere near the level of the women’s football played in Europe now. It is just kick and rush football. There is a also a level of deluded arrogance from US players, US media and US fans because they fail to see that the women’s game has gone to a new level in Europe tactically and technically but still think the USA can dominate. Those days are gone. Carli Lloyd’s comments are more about her defending her legacy, because the rest of the world is now saying see the Americans where never really good, they just won because they had better fitness, so Carli is claiming mentality is the problem, instead of admitting the USA running more than opponents no longer wins against the top European teams any more.
