Match

Pitiful opening display by the U.S. squad against an eager Australian side. No rrhythm or organization evident . The second half improved some with the insertion of Aly Wagner but the USA was continuously losing the ball to a well coached team of lesser experience and skills.

IThe U.S. performance was reminiscent of the many disorganised boring muscle games seen that contributed to the unfortunate demise of WUSA.

 

 

 

poor quality and boring play.
