Wonder what difference that extra month waiting has made... surely playing against US??? Would have been more beneficial then not.
Yes why not bring Clegg into camp earlier. Either that weakened squad against USA, or even in for Portugal/Argentina wider squad. Both basically 10 day camps where Clegg would have got a valuable look at senior women's international football.
Why bring in likes of Tayla O'Brien or Jana Radosavljević against the US, if they were realistically very long shots for the WWC. Klimkova makes some strange calls
