Seemed to me it was Defender No. 2 who could have cleared the ball and didn't, not that I'm a soccer expert.

I saw the replay. You're right. Rachel was on the ground and couldn't defend it.

I may be biased (I am), but I agree... seemed like Rachel did all she could on that play, and it was the other defender to got crossed-up.

To Oman's point, the question I kept asking myself was why Lloyd was still out there?!?  Way too many missed/wasted opportunities (and turnovers).  The only reason I could think of for not subbing for her was that perhaps she was a must-have if we went to PKs, but then she missed that too :-(
