Summary
The USWNT scored in the 2nd minute and looked like they were on their way to a huge result against Brazil. Just 12 minutes later, they were trailing 2-1, later losing by that same scoreline. In this episode, LDG breaks down the 5 biggest ways Brazil exposed the USWNT, from struggles playing through pressure and controlling the midfield to bigger questions about where this team stands under Emma Hayes. LDG also discusses standout performances from Sophia Wilson and Claire Hutton, players whose stock rose and fell, and whether Brazil may have given the rest of the world a blueprint for how to make the United States uncomfortable. Most importantly, how concerned should USWNT fans actually be? Is this just part of the process for a young team still developing ahead of the 2027 World Cup, or did this match reveal some deeper issues? LDG answers these questions and more!
