The number of injuries and absences does worry me a bit. This is certainly not the team that won the WCC.
No, it's not. I think this team is more talented. The offense is now multidimensional. Pugh is a great facilitator. However, I think the defense, anchored by Sauerbrunn (best defender in the world), is their strength.
Agree. The additions of Pugh, and also Horan and Dunn, has brought a new dimension to this team. The defense is clearly playing at a very high level - and has been improved by the emergence of O'Hara at right back.
