Thanks, Andrea. Very nice job. It'll, as you say, all be about creativity and possession, or perhaps that should be reversed, possession and creativity, since probably the possession needs to come first.
I hope to see a lot of both, culminating in scoring chances created by the speed of the US kids.
What I hope I don't see, is shootouts.
I also wonder if the reduced expectations brought on by Wambaugh's late injury may actually take some pressure off and allow them to play a little more relaxed. (Silver lining, don't you know.)
This'll be the Olympics of Pia and the kids. (A-Rod and Tobin are my picks for greatness and I think it'll start to show in these Games.) Maybe Coach is rubbing off on me, but I really do have a good feeling about this group.

Excellent Andrea!
ReplyDeleteNow if we could have just got you "predicting" a GOLD for the home side, we'd be all set!
I know - but it's not what I feel, so how can I write that! Doesn't matter - you're an American - put on those red, white & blue coloured glasses! lol
Wine glass half full - mines full - well, not right now, but you know what I mean! ;)
I'm kidding A.C. - I can live with your predictions, I just "Hope" you're wrong but we shall see!
