Hello Pia my old friend...
Ah, we meet again Pia Sundhage.
Sundhage was once the coach of the U.S. women’s national team, taking over in 2008 and bringing together a fractured team after things went haywire at the 2007 World Cup. She got them to gold in 2008, within a hairsbreadth of winning in 2011, and to gold again in 2012.
That team was a very, very different team than the one Sundhage will face tomorrow. For starters: no Abby Wambach. For another: so many other things, including the formation, the attacking style, the options at forward, the roles of the center backs, the shifting of the midfield, and the releasing of Lloyd to roam.
