After some recent conversations about the USWNT and their dominance on the women's side.

I searched out some YNT games on the women's side to see how we look and if there is room for growth.

I found two clips for us all to examine.

Here is an example of a regain and build from the Netherlands.

- CB drives and recognize space and shape not good.
- Reset to regain good attacking shape
- AM found between lines= much easier progression.

Understand space good for all players regardless of style or dominance

Here is an example of the US in possession and the decisions that we can improve upon.

- LCB drives forward looking to penetrate a medium block.
- LB signals that the ball should move to new space.
-LCB ignores and won't reset or circulate.
- Turnover...

Here is the full game:



These are not one off examples.

Being able to understand space, its creation, and its exploitation is good for all players.

I will share a last clip because there is a lot to pull out of it.

- Circulating to find new conditions to penetrate.
- High positions of OB to bypass lines.
- Finds 1v1 in wide space.

Overall - probing, patience, and penetration
