Elias Talks USWNT Draw, But Was It Really a Draw?
So, the USWNT just drew with Colombia, 2-2. A draw? I mean, yeah, it’s a draw on the scoreboard, but let’s be real, was it really a draw? It felt like a win for Colombia and a loss for the US. Let’s break it down.
The USWNT Looked Out of Sorts
Right from the get-go, the USWNT just didn’t look sharp. They were all over the place, kind of like that one friend who always shows up late and forgets their wallet. They weren’t playing their usual cohesive game. Passes were off, the midfield felt disconnected, and they just weren't creating many chances. It was almost like they were expecting to win just because they were the US.
Colombia Took Advantage
Meanwhile, Colombia came to play. They were organized, aggressive, and played with a lot of heart. It was a good ol’ fashioned “go for the throat” kind of performance. They exploited the weaknesses in the US defense and made the most of their opportunities. It was super impressive to watch them take control of the game and score those two goals.
A Wake-up Call?
This draw was a serious wake-up call for the USWNT. If they’re going to be serious contenders in the World Cup, they can’t afford to have performances like this. They need to tighten things up, figure out their game plan, and get back to the dominant form we're used to seeing. This draw was a reminder that no team, no matter how strong, can afford to underestimate their opponents.
What’s Next for the USWNT?
We'll see what the USWNT does to address these issues. They’ve got some time to regroup before their next match. But one thing’s for sure, the USWNT is going to have to step up their game if they want to win it all. And maybe, just maybe, this “draw” will be the kick in the pants they need to get back on track. Let's just hope they learn from this, because the rest of the world is certainly watching.
