U.S. coach Jill Ellis wasn’t able to start her top lineup in group play of the Women’s World Cup because of minor injuries to starters. All are now healthy.
Complicating things is the weather, with the gray, leaden skies and rain of the last two weeks expected to give way to sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s Monday, the start of what’s expected to be a week of record-setting heat in France.
“The MVP right now is going to be your recovery and your hydration and your attention to detail in terms of making sure you do that. The next game starts as soon as that [current] game’s over.” The U.S. has played just three games in the last 27 days, a lax schedule for women used to playing once a week. But O’Hara said that schedule, plus the lineup rotations, won’t hurt the team’s sharpness.“We play a lot of games in the year, so missing one game in a week’s span is OK,” she said.
