It's been a tough year for the US Women’s National Team. After going over a decade without losing at home, they’ve dropped three games so far in 2017. The reigning World Cup champions have also failed to win either of the tournaments they set up this year. And even where they've found some good results, the play has often been poor. For a team stocked with some of the best attacking talent in the world, the US has often looked hesitant, choppy, and disconnected. And, perhaps most worrying, there doesn't really seem to be much clarity on how or when things are going to improve.
