Lisa Carlin, Darian Jenkins, and Sandra Herrera were live on YouTube to react and recap USA's win over Japan in the quarterfinals by a score of 1-0. First, the ladies go over the starting XI's for both sides and the impact Japan's changes had on the US. Next, a deep dive into Japan's strategy and how it stunted the US and their attack in the final third. Then, the ladies breakdown the midfield's performance for the US, what worked and what didn't. Next, the A3 crew analyze the 30 minutes of extra time, from Lynn Williams being subbed on to ultimately Trinity Rodman's game-winning goal off an assist from Crystal Dunn. And finally, Lisa, Darian, and Sandra give their respective player of the match awards and flowers to a Japan side who fought diligently.
