Dark Horse Women's World Cup plays?

The big question for the US team is replacing Solo.

Australia has a lot of young guns that is fast, but not exactly the most technical. I am From Portland so I get to watch Carpenter, Raso, and Foord play and they are fast but lack the all around play the US brings at a lot of positions. They had a good game when they played US last, but US wasn’t full strength.

US midfield is stacked with Horan coming off a MVP season. Mewis who is a defensive beast and getting better at attacking. Ertz does a lot of dirty work, cleaning up. Where they may be the weakest is the back line which can be slow in the center.

Yeah agree, US has the better attacking front than France but France's defense is better, France and the US are about the same.

The goalkeeping has been horrid from Nauer*. Harris is actually better, except she is short and Franch was terrible last showing. Though Franch comes up with great reaction saves for her club, she relies too much on her athleticism instead of making the best decisions. Also, her passing isn’t the best.
