This was the most balanced and insightful analysis of how the US women's team's performed at the World Cup I've seen. His assessment of its weaknesses, which too many analysts have focused exclusively on, AND its strengths was refreshing. Learning why Rapinoe's choke was no surprise and the phrase "don't play the game you dream, play the game you can" were worth listening to the video by themselves.

Thank you Roger for bringing on Jonas Eidevall. I was so impressed with his in-match analysis with you, Sam and Becky on Twitch. We definitely need a new manager with his level of tactical understanding. I hope he is seriously considered. A pod conversation discussing how US Soccer can improve their girls youth development would also be interesting.

I think you Americans should take a look around you, here in the Netherlands women's football was an amateur sport until even in 2019 we have a pro league since 2 years 2021 I don't know how long in America women's soccer has been pro but I think definitely more than 15 years I think that now more countries are taking women's football seriously we have Ajax Amsterdam that stands for world class men talents on the Assembly line if this club wil pomp money into woman football we will have fast superstars

An excellent , thoughtful interview with a coach who has substance and critical insight. The coach spoke with a respect for the game and all who participate in it. No bluster. No empty statements. Beautiful! The players, the game and all who make the beautiful game a reality deserve this level of intelligence and grace. Thank you.

I will say this: With the amount of change that has happened between 2019 to 2023, there’s really no reason to say this should’ve been an easy tournament for the US. We should’ve done better, but there’s so much work that needs to be done with this new squad. Rodman showed she’s adapting to the NT, Smith has hit a wall, DeMelo is certainly needed, and Horan proved she should start. There’s much more that can be discussed but I’m sure in 2027, we’ll see this team come together and be extremely dangerous.

That was a great interview. Since Jonas mentioned "scouting" intentions among the Clubs, perhaps they might look into a teenager called Onyeka Gomero, who is of mixed heritage, having a Nigerian father and a Spanish mother, both American citizens: (what could be more American than that ?). She is qualified to play for the USA and also Nigeria. She received very high marks when she played in the World under-16 Tournament, last year.

Next time we’ll have a team of peak age global superstars on a mission-a pissed off monstrous beast of a squad that’ll be better than any we’ve seen before. We want that fifth star over the badge!

Top talented athletes usually are highly skilled at other sports . Very common to be recruited to play softball and volleyball at the collegiate level and abandon one for the other because of scholarships .

Mentality is a massive part of a winning sports team . But its just Americas mentality going into this tournament was they just had to turn up and take part to win the game .and its their god given right to make the final

Not being blunt to anyone in particular, what I really believe is that there is nothing wrong with the USWNT in its build up to this game against SWEDEN. Perhaps the only flaw in preparing this game is in deciding whether Megan Rapinoe should play at all, and if so, should Rapinoe start the game. There is apparently a pretty good. game spirit and boasted morale so the mentality is right to play an offensive game, control the temperament, and growing into the game to break down the resistance of SWEDEN. When you have transition of players of different generation as much as fourteen rookies in your squad, you know you've got to have experienced players as mentors on the pitch to guide them, to encourage them and to help orchestrate the play. The one thing that have gone wrong is to select Megan Rapinoe in the first place. True that she is an icon, but being an icon doesn't mean she can be a key player in such a live or die contest. This is a knockout game. Like it or not, if you are not game fit to a 150% physically and mentally, don't play her at all! Megan Rapinoe was completely out of the game in regards to her preparedness and game readiness. She failed to lift the soccer ball in her corner kicks and the ball fell short of 10 yards or so reaching a desirable spot in the 6 yard box. As a matter of fact, her two corner attempts failed to send the ball overhead to a US player, which didn't even reach the near post 3 feet above ground. That weakness exemplified when she voluntarily took a 45-yard out freekick in the dying minutes of the game that her delivery was as as weak as her corner kicks. That kick again didn't reach her teammates waiting earnestly in the penalty box. That said, she didn't even show the agility, strength and the ability to beat any opponent, let alone ball possession. So, the obvious mistake, let me say again, is to include Megan Rapinoe in the squad from the start of the tournament. This is not a tactical mistake, this is a management mistake, and the blame goes to ??? All teams have generation transition issues, when players like Rapinoe and Morgan are in their late professional age, selecting them is a risk. I say there is no specific issue or something wrong for the USWNT in this tournament is true because your squad with these aging players plus immature rookies are bound to fail. And the truth is there is no longevity for star players. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo went through the same decline and cause PSG and Manchester United a lot to play them regularly. Both did not end their career well with these elite clubs. There is no longevity for any team as well. You win a title this season, you'll be defending your title in the next. How many teams in the world are serial winners succeeding in defending their titles year after year? Real Madrid, Juventus, Manchester City, Barcelona? the same goes to the USWNT. The same fate, and the same cost associated with naming your iconic, beloved celebrity player on your team sheet. I still am adamant in saying there is nothing wrong with the USWNT because they played as a team. It's their opponents who played well, didn't have the same issue in their teams, and they were not suffering with too many aging or rookies in their teams!

The older players have to be rotated out so that the younger players can develop. Its like Tobin said, no one is set up for success.

A healthy Mal Swanson changes everything in my mind. I know injuries always play a role... but we had A LOT. Sauerbraun, Swanson, Macario... tell me that doesn't have us winning the group and not facing Sweden at all. 2 of those 3 are in that prime range you duscuss.

While it is fashionable to trash the USA front line (and justified) we have to remember that lots of big teams with world class forwards also failed to to score as well. Scoring touch seems to ebb and flow a lot in women's soccer. Vlatko's big mistake was taking Rapinoe who was useless for all but marketing purposes instead of Hatch or some other striker that was in form. It might not hove worked but it would have given him another round in the chamber that maybe could have paid off.

While I get where you are going I have to disagree- really not that complicated-especially after hearing Carly Lloyd talk about the disrespectful culture on the team. Two things broke down- poor coaching and poor leadership within the team. The coach did not work them hard enough, break them down and build them back up as a team. He played players who simply did not produce and kept going back to them. Set plays were mediocre to poor, finishing was weak. And he allowed a lazy, entitled atmosphere to exist throughout training. Team culture- Rapione should not have been on the team period. She is way past her prime and her play showed it every time she stepped on the pitch. And more importantly she is a self important princess who has screwed with team culture for years. In the end a huge portion of the country hated her and disliked the team as a result. What other country has a large part of the population hating their national team. They are there to play soccer, not politics. In the end they did not work hard enough in preparation and as a result played poorly and played as a team of individuals until the last game when it was too late.

I don't see them offering helpful hints and tips to Messi, Ronaldo, MANU or Barcelona FC.

38:24 "don't play how you dream, play how you can" are the most important words in this interview, and somebody should have told them to us soccer 2 years ago.. Somebody in us soccer decided they were going to try to play like teams from Europe. The Us does not have the players, coaches, or system to do that. I think somebody in Us soccer decided to throw this world cup to try to push Europe style soccer more in the US. There is nothing wrong with with the style they play in Europe, if you have the players to play it, but the US does not at this time. They have velociraptors on that team. You have to let them run and eat. Smart opponents get very nervous when the velociraptors are loose. Passes back to the US goalie are exactly what the people from Europe want, and it slows down the velociraptors. Playing Europe style soccer with the US team is exactly what the teams in Europe want the US to do. Coach and US soccer management are totally out of their league If you want to play like Europe style soccer is playing now, then it is going to take at least 8-12 years to get that set up in youth soccer. By that time, Europe will be 12-16 years ahead of the us .Teams in Europe are not going to sit still and do nothing like us soccer has done for last 8 years. Their best bet for the next 4 years is Velociraptor ball There is also a question if some of the people who retired with 2 world cup titles were trying to keep certain other people from getting their third star? The man was talking about somebody making the decisions to build for the future, and throwing away the current. I think that happened, and they could have won it in the current year. Coach needs to go, and the management making the decisions also need to go. They have been trying to fit square pegs into round holes for 2 years. They have not been able to consistently get the ball up the field for 2 years, and they kept playing Horan as a midfielder. Looks to me like she wants to play as a forward and have different defensive responsibilities, then move her up like they did in the last game. She can and did play much better there than in the midfield. They have been derping around trying to get her goals for 2 years when they could not get the ball up the field in an efficient manner, they should put her in the position where she can do the most good. Additionally, they did their best to put every forward on that team into a position where they were not at their best.

American success in womens football has been based on the length of time the game has been going in the states, the huge comparative investment and the lack of competition from abroad, those days are over, worst thing is Americans could never enjoy the teams success because of the toxic culture they embraced, and poor old rapinoe, no matter what she might gave done in the past, her legacy will be the penalty miss.

to you

FIRST, FRST, FIRST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ALL OF THE CURRENT PLAYERS NEED TO BE FIRED FROM THE USWNT IMMEDIATELY AND REPLACED WITH PATRIOTS THAT CAN PLAY SOCCER; MAYBE A TEAM THAT CAN BEAT 14 Y/Old BOYS OR AT LEAST BE COMPETITIVE WITH THEM!

Rubbish - BTW same comment on other programs. Think that makes you a troll.

The mother-players (Dunn, Morgan, Ertz) did not provide the top play US fans are used to. I did not recognized Dunn at all, her game was very sloppy in many areas. Morgan was careless with many chances on goal and missed a penalty against Vietnam. Ert was solid but did not provide the support in the attack that we have seen before. We have seen proof at this WC, it is evident female players cannot come back to their top playing level post-partum. Should the USWNT reject players with children?

Who cares????

I’ll tell you what went wrong. They cared more about virtue signaling than actual soccer. And they paid the price. And judging from the amount of Americans that rooted for them to lose, I’m not the only one that feels that way. They should have put 100% of their effort into training.

Your comment clearly shows your ignorance. The USWNT lost the 2011 final by PKs to Japan (Carli Lloyd lost her kick) and as a result of that, the federation changed things and created the current dinasty. A new one must be created now, if handled properly, failure is just success in progress.

Lots of ignorance on display here from people who clearly didn’t listen to this program and the terrific insight Jonas provided, but just wanted to jump on and spew their misogyny and homophobia. This team will be back with a vengeance, and it’ll be fun to watch.
