Leave the back 4 alone. Blow up the midfield and attack. Nobody other than Rapinoe who's started at M or F in the first 2 games has done anything to warrant another start. So I'm benching the whole lot of them. Unfortunately Jill Ellis did such a horrible job constructing the roster that the options aren't great. No way Boxx will last 90. Maybe Chalupny there? Or push Johnston up and slide Rampone into the back line. Rapinoe is obviously better on the wing than in the middle. But somebody has to play in the middle and I've seen enough of Holiday and Lloyd for now. If Ellis tries to turn in a starting lineup without Heath in it she should be fired on the spot. How long can Morgan go? Time to find out.
