It’s the second game of the two USA-Colombia friendlies. Rotation, different combinations of players, and more Catarina Macario toying with defenders in their own box are all on the menu tonight. And as Vlatko Andonovski said to media earlier this week, he really wants the team to look sharper in the final third - something we saw them struggle with in game one. Understandable, with everyone coming from different training environments, some with full club games in their legs and some with no minutes since last fall, or even longer. A combination of that rust and the stand-up play of Colombia’s Sandra Sepúlveda turned a lot of attempts at setup into dead ends. So: finish those final passes and touches, don’t get beat one-v-one, and stay aggressive while out of possession.
