'There's no cohesion, there's no fluidity, they just haven't been clicking' Soccer analyst Julie Foudy says the US Women's National Team are displaying less confidence and swagger than fans are used to seeing at this World Cup
With the game hanging in the balance, substitute Ana Capeta had a glorious chance to earn Portugal a famous win in the closing stages, but her effort struck the post with goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher completely helpless. Defeat for the US – a team aiming for a third consecutive world title – would have ended its participation in the tournament.
Chants and songs of “U-S-A,” “Oh When the Saints” and “America the Beautiful” filled the air as other fans danced in the ticket queues to a jazz band. But that enthusiasm wasn’t replicated by the American players on the pitch. The opening exchanges gave an early insight into how the game would unfold. It was Portugal which created the first chance of the match, but Silva – the hub of the Portuguese attack – dragged her effort wide of the far post.
