No other team in the WC is dealing with as many starters, potential starters out injured. Not sure any Pro NFL teams had as many last year while fielding 22 starters. Mal was the last straw. Press, Dalkamper, Sam, Macario, becky, and even potential starters like Davidson and Midge coming off of injury. 1/2 the Team starters were down. Think about that.The US ladies are like real pro athletes now. They got paid and now aren’t as good.
To me, this is why soccer isn't big in our country. You can dominate a game start to finish by every statistical measure and of course just via your eyes too and still lose. That doesn't happen in other sports (I should say team sports) or if it does, it's extremely rare.No other team in the WC is dealing with as many starters, potential starters out injured.

Take any pro team and remove 1/2 of their starters and see how they do.
And they still out played Sweden until penalty kick time. And that's always a crap shoot.
