Why do coaches tinker with something, when all is going right? If you didn't know, the US just lost to Brazil in the Semifinals of the Women's FIFA World Cup in China, snapping their 51 straight game winning streak. A big reason is b/c the coach decided at the last second to switch out his goalie for a legacy goalie, Brianna Scurry (someone who shared in their previous successes but is now much to old to be a professional athelete at 36).
I applaud Solo, the goalie that was pulled, for stating her mind when asked her thoughts of being replaced without any logical reason. She had shutout her opponents in 3 straight games leading up to this big game!! Something to be learned here.
