if you have to take into account Smith's run, how it obscures the pass, and is a metre or less away from the ball, even if she doesn't touch it, she is having an effect on the play.

🇮🇹🇸🇪 If Sweden and Italy draw on 1-1 Saturday, it opens up the potential of every team in Group G finishing with 4 points and almost identical goals scored.
from the outside, it’s really hard to think of a more shocking sacking than Stoney in terms of what a manager has consistently achieved for a NWSL club, length of contract remaining, and notoriety in the game.
