As the knockout stage began with a Round of 16 matchups against No. 3 ranked Sweden, Vlatko Andonovski deployed the least experienced USWNT lineup(average of 83.7 caps) in a major tournament knockout game since the 1996 Olympics gold medal match. The biggest absence for the United States in this match was Rose Lavelle, who was suspended for yellow ...
Vlatko Andonovski made two changes from the lineup that faced the Netherlands, bringing on Rose Lavelle and Lynn Williamsfor their first starts of the 2023 Women's World Cup. There were questions about Lavelle's fitness, but she is ready enough to be deployed from the start. Those two replace Trinity Rodman and Savannah DeMelo, who sit for the firs...
Vlatko Andonovski stunned fans and media, selecting the same exactly starting XI as was deployed against Vietnam. That means no Rose Lavelle, and no Alana Cook, with Julie Ertz at center-back alongside Naomi Girma. This means one of two things: either something is up fitness-wise with Lavelle, Cook, or both...or Andonovski has decided to pull a fas...
Vietnam should be a must-win and Vlatko Andonovski has starters Alana Cook and Rose Lavellestart the match on the bench. Cook is a surprise omission, with Julie Ertztaking her place at center back, while Lavelle's situation was clear from the outset given manager Vlatko Andonovski indicated he'd be managing her minutes. Savannah DeMelo gets the nod...
Goalkeeper
There's a clear pecking order at goalkeeper for the United States. It's 35-year-old Alyssa Naeher(photo below) who has the starting goalkeeper position locked down, and has for some time, now sitting on 90 international caps for her career. Manager Vlatko Andonovski has made it known publicly on several occasions that he wants his backup Casey Murphyto get time and stay sharp within the team, deploying her on several occasions; she could get the start in the group stage opener against Vietnam...
Center-back
This is an area of true weakness on the roster, and maybe the most head-scratching of Vlatko Andonovski's decisions. There are only two true center-backs on the roster, and they will both start next to each other for the duration of the tournament if they can stay healthy. Alana Cook and Naomi Girmawill comprise the U.S. starting center-back partnership after the cruel injury that left captain Becky Sauerbrunn off the roster. Andonovski chose not to name a direct center-back replacement for S...
Full-back
While center-back is thin, the USA has several options at full-back. The starters on both flanks will revolve around how Vlatko Andonovski wishes to use Crystal Dunn. There has been talk of Dunn moving into midfield, but since she's played primarily at left-back for the United States (despite it being her least favorite place to play), we'll assume that's her role for now. On the right will be Emily Fox, a left-back who also plays at right-back, but she has a lot of competition for that spot,...
