Usually after a US women’s national team game, we like to pick it apart a bit, look for the fault lines and the strengths. But only one thing has occupied my mind since I finished up the recap last night, and that was Becky Sauerbrunn nearly got a goal.
To recap: The United States played Mexico last night in the first group game of their World Cup qualifying bid. The US was up 5-0 and Sauerbrunn decided it was fine if she stretched her legs a bit. She took a jaunt down the left flank and was in perfect position to jump on an attempted clear out of the box.
