Rapinoe had no business on the team. She especially had no business playing.
Morgan deserves to be on the team. She's not the special player she once was, but I think she would have been a great sub (or even someone you sub off at 60). She's just not effective at this level over 90 minutes.
I do wonder how much of these decisions came down to endorsements.
