Andonovski was determined to use a system that didn’t play to his players’ strengths, and he proved incapable of making adjustments even when it was clear it wasn’t working. The USWNT was so focused on trying to make the bad fit work it sucked the joy out of their game and robbed individual players of their creativity.
Andonovski, who resigned Wednesday as USWNT coach, wasn’t the one sending shots wide or over the crossbar or taking an extra step or three rather than shooting. But the players don’t have problems finishing at the club level, and you have to wonder if they spent so much time thinking about how they were playing that they were paralyzed when they did have opportunities.
