Maybe (actually I am pretty sure) her touch has evolved tremendously over the past 4-5 years. I would definitely say she is one of the least athletic players on a team that defines its style of play as athletic though.
@ 1:05 was one of her best goals IMO even given that it was against a low, low level team.
With Whitney Engen, well she was never really a star/large/big time player for the team, even though she was in the pool a very long time.
But back to Press, to me, she's always seemed like an on or off player, kind of like how one could say about Carli Lloyd. She has her big moments (for Carli, it was the WWC for Press it's smaller big moments big goals creative moves etc) and then it seems like other times she's barely impacted the game or even worse shouldn't be in the game. I think the latter applies more so to current Carli Lloyd IMHO and previous Christen Press because I'm starting to see a better and better Press who's more consistent and simply better all round in her creativity, playing with her back to goal, etc. In fact, I would say, and even before she started noticeably improving IMO, that she tries to make up for her lack in physical ability in technical prowess, however, especially before, there is only so much she can do without being more athletic, and I think that's why she's had such a difficult time beating the other USWNT strikers for starting spots and time.
