I just think it was really interesting to see Hayes be presented with this different approach by Argentina and saying okay instead of kind of ramming it through the middle or relegating to longball or trying to do like crosses in the air like as we know all of these sort of like low variable low efficiency ideas that sometimes the US can get relegated

to against playing a five back she's like okay no we're gonna cut in we're going

to find these spaces in between the lines.

Hello everybody and welcome to today's edition of the late sub I am your host

Claire Watkins it is Thursday October 31st

happy Halloween everybody we're wrapping up the US was National Team

International Window after they've played their third game of the window we have have an NWSL preview for what's going to be a very exciting final regular season weekend for the N of U.S. as they move into the post-season. There's a lot to dig into a little bit of game analysis, a little bit of news, and a little bit of some goodbyes,

some of the teams that we enjoyed this summer. Let's dig in.

All right, so we first are going to discuss the third game in the US Women's National Teams

International Break over October. Three games, which it's like unclear why there were three games I think there were a lot of different a lot of different like theories about that but as it stands three games for the US for some particular reason and I think as people probably expect in that kind of a situation there was a heavy

emphasis on rotation I think at some point a manager like Emma Hayes is just trying to make sure that the team gets out

okay that no one gets hurt understanding that not only is much of the team going back to end of U.S.

regular season and post season, but immediately after that post season, the U.S. is heading to Europe to play England and the Netherlands so it is non-stop for these US women's national team

and of yourself or even WSL players where they're just going back to their clubs are going to be playing

throughout the month of November and then they are heading to a very big

important window which I think we're going to take a little bit differently as

the coaching staff will but they do win this third game three to nothing

against Argentina.

As people might know, again, the two games against Iceland and then one game against Argentina

to close this out in Louisville.
