If there was one thing that seemed clear about Jill Ellis after the game with Spain, it is that she is going to ride or die with the attack at all costs philosophy. Injured striker? Start her. Attacking midfielder seeming to be outmatched playing at left back? Start her. Central defender lost a step? Start her. Best midfielder on the team? Bench her. It would either lead the team to an incredible victory or honorable but crushing death in the “total shitshow circus” against France. Still a brace by Megan Rapinoe and some big saves by Alyssa Naeher gave the US a 2-1 win.
