Since the United States' elimination from the 2023 Women's World Cup, Lindsey Horan has reflected on what her and the team could have done better.
."Like what the heck could I have done to help or to push our playing style or to push this bravery? And at the end of the day, it’s like you’re set up in a structure to do this. And here’s your opportunity individually, like just go play within the structure."
The team's structure was a big point of debate throughout the tournament. While the U.S. could have done better to finish its opportunities in front of goal, Vlatko Andonovski's conservative style of play also played a role in the team's lack of goals. Horan highlighted the game against Sweden in the round of 16 as a turning point for the group, but she feels like the result would have been different had changes been made earlier in the tournament."The game against Sweden, I don’t think we were necessarily set up to play the way that we played," Horan said."That was just us finally coming together and being like, ‘This is what we’re going to do.’ And then it worked, and then it’s like, ‘OK, keep doing it.
