Neid critical of Ryan tactics

Germany coach Silvia Neid was more disappointed in the U.S. than impressed by Brazil, saying her team would not give the flamboyant South Americans the space afforded by the below-par Americans.
"I was surprised by the United States," Neid said. "I have never seen them play like that before. They were never in the game, and when they went behind they just couldn't pick themselves up."
"If you try to cover Marta with player-to-player marking, it just won't work. You saw what happened to the Americans when they tried that."
