We will have a much better attack, with pressing speed and creative play. The speed of Morgan and Leroux with the combo play and danger of Wambach in the 18 yard box will force the defense to pick who to mark and leave more 1v1 chances. Heath and Pinoe on the outside will help create width and razzle dazzle with cross overs and pull touch to juke out the defense not to mention they can both pull the trigger at any moment. Lloyd is the right amount of physical and technical to create chances for others and herself, she doesn't quit when tracking back on defense. Not to mention she is a wicked target at the top of the box and heading on corners. Our back 4 are top of the line, Kling and Krieger can both make those outside runs and create numbers in the box with great crosses and smart fakes and jukes. They defend with skill, speed, smarts, and physicality. Sauerbrunn and Johnston are both so cerebral on the field, you wont see them out of position, and are usually stepping up to bail out team out of a pressure situation. The back 4 can play as a flat back four, or with a sweeper and stopper, they can play flat 3 and one floater. Solo, without a doubt the best keeper in the world and the best keeper in US history, (sorry Scurry). She is able to make saves that anyone else could only dream of, she is elite, and her being in tip top shape helps her create those amazing plays. Forwards on other teams end up over thinking how to beat her and usually end up losing the ball or missing goal.
