Former professional player, part midfielder, part forward, forever misunderstood. Forza Lupi!

Houston has become the Mestalla of the USA. Same colors as Valencia too. #HoustonDash #nwsl #strikeuptheband

Anyone who wants to learn more about movement on & off the ball should watch her closely. Also understands that finishing is not always all about power, sometimes placement the right choice.

Another impressive finisher: Esther Gonzalez the main catalyst in Gotham FC's big comeback earlier today w/ 2 goals & set up the 3rd. Always moving cleverly into spaces where she can score or drag defenders out of position.

Impressive finishing: Trevor Amann's 3 min #hattrick for Pittsburgh Riverhounds in #USLC. Banger of a shot on his 1st. Then such intelligent movement, he understands the value of double movements to evade defenders on 2nd & 3rd header goals with his far post & near post runs.

Seattle Reign doing their best England impersonation in this game.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Looks to be a capable passer & crosser in addition to being good at dribbling at opponents 1 v 1. Has the physical profile to play at a higher level / top 5 league in the future. Skillset is well suited for a transitional league.

My notes on Loun Srdanovic for any LOSC Lille fans who are interested. Servette 1 Young Boys 3 from July 26, 2025 Offensive minded RB making his debut in the SSL. Played mostly for Servette II in 1.Liga / Swiss 4th division last year.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Postionally solid, could be a bit more tactically disciplined in containing the opponent instead of overenthusiastically stepping in too soon at times. Was still a threat going forward in this game even with his team being short for 80 min. & attempted a variety of services.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Came on in this match in the 20' min after his team was playing down a man due to a red card for a DOGSO & made immediate impact. Very fast, agile, confident young player who covered a lot of ground up and down the flank for 10 man Servette.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Bethune is like an artist, creative, enigmatic, expressing herself through her play on the field. A joy to watch, she adds something extra to the game.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Croix Bethune with a sensational performance last night against SD Wave. Clever, cerebral, quick AMF, always getting into those pockets of space between opponent's lines.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Bethune has something more, even w/ opponent marking her extensively, she is able to thrive under pressure. Her striking left footed volley calmly executed while being marked. Her 1st touch under pressure, both control & directional, so fluid, effective.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

That's a great move for Loun Srdanovic from Servette to LOSC Lille. Attack minded RB, positionally solid, effective dribbler with a variety of services. Combative defensively too, will get stuck in for a tackle. He could have a breakout season if he can stay healthy there.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

No yellow card for Spence in England game and that was a much worse simulation than Embolo's. Spence simulation was also reviewed by VAR. Why no yellow for him for his U15 level dive?

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

5 officials on the field and 4 in the VAR booth and not one of them saw the ball hit the wire on the GK that led to England's first goal?

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Juan Fernando Quintero has unusual gifts as a footballer. I saw him live in Guadalajara for Colombia v DR Congo. His brain works so fast, he can see openings and play passes that others can only dream of.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Oversight by FIFA? Seems unfair for one team to play in air conditioned domes and cooler climates when the other team has to travel thousands of miles. The travel, altitude (games at 7,000 and 5,000 ft) & heat clearly affected Colombia in this match. They looked exhausted.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

Swiss had a big advantage playing in an air conditioned dome in Vancouver for the last 3 games and never having to travel out of the pacific time zone.

[TrueNumber10 @TrueNumber10]

It was Rudi Garcia's tactical masterpiece against the USMNT last night.
