r/USWNT

Has anyone watched or kept up with Jenna at Aston Villa? Seems like she’s getting more minutes than with Arsenal. Obviously she hasn’t been called into national team camp in a while but I’m curious how the move is treating her and how she’s playing.

Pretty much was delayed so that they can do it for the vote by acclimation aka they all just say yes to us hosting.

Hello, as someone who never played football growing up I have found it difficult at times to understand the roles of certain positions when defending and attacking. Like I understand that because the pitch is so large, you can’t just guard another player the whole time and sprint with each other so instead you kind of take up space and force passes.

My biggest question is what is the difference in a wing back and an outside back? Like is a RWB different than RB? What is the role of an outside defender when attacking?

Like obviously I see that Katie McCabe services players in the box and Lucy Bronze does the same kind of thing so why aren’t they just playing up the pitch? Like why don’t they just play in the midfield?

Why are defenders so high? And why would a 6 drop down to defense? Like why wouldn’t the 6 just be someone who services and leave the defense where they are?

​

I feel like I've heard this but I'm not 100% positive

I have always thought Vignola and McCaskill are very underrated on the national level.

They consistently have an impact on the game.

Who are your sleepers?

Just watched the highlights but I was curious if anyone had any opinion on how the USWNT players did throughout the game (Lily, Heaps, Schrader, and Fox)? I am generally of the opinion we have better options than Heaps/Schrader but it is awesome to see an all USWNT midfield in a champions league semifinal (being a USWNT fan is a gift).
