World Cup bubble of isolation helps USWNT focus

Naeher, the person charged with following Solo as the starting U.S. goalkeeper, answered by saying she hadn’t seen the comments made to BBC — that the U.S. coach “cracks under pressure” and doesn’t have a leadership quality — so she couldn’t respond.

"I haven't been on social media since we left New York, so I'm not really sure what all is going on," Naeher said, trailing off.

Ertz picked up, adding, "Same, yeah. They basically created this bubble for us, so we don't really know much."

That bubble helps keep the team focused on the task of winning the World Cup.
