Mallory Swanson: Threatening Every Minute

She didn’t just score a vital goal. Swanson’s runs into dangerous places appeared very imaginitive throughout the match, and that more or less seemed to disrupt the German defense. Her calm finish to set up Williams in the dying embers of the game showed a lot of composure and presence of mind.
Their opposition scored a goal, but the gritty defense of the US marshaled by Naeher held fort. The timely interventions and disciplined display from the defenders would ward off the warming attacks Germany’s way.

Tactical Analysis

Offensive Strategy: HEAD COACH Emma Hayes gambled with the same lineup that outclassed Zambia, and it paid off. Fluidity and interchanges in positions were observed by the USA attacking trio, creating numbers of chances. The wide areas, combined with quick transition, were found to be the best options to deal with Germany. DEFENSIVE SOLIDITY
The USA’s defensive setup, featuring Lindsey Horan, with cover from Sam Coffey in midfield, allowed the team to absorb pressure before launching dangerous counterattacks. By staying compact and organized, the defenders surely limited the opportunity of Germany.

What We Learned: USA vs Australia

The USA will face Australia in their final group match. A win or draw and the top spot in Group B is theirs. The Americans’ plus-6 goal difference gives them an enormous buffer, but they must keep alert from a steely Australian side.
