Their first game against Sweden is tomorrow morning 7:30 ET. 4 hours before I get up so, “Let’s go to the video tape”.
NBCSN. But now I’m seeing a different time.
Glad we got the facts right. (Watch for the word "football" to be used in scheduling to denote the sport. That's what the rest of the world calls "soccer.")Their first game against Sweden is tomorrow morning 7:30 ET. 4 hours before I get up so, “Let’s go to the video tape”.

As only 12 teams are participating, the games should all be tough. Absent are Germany and France, two of the best in the world after the US.
Hopefully, Julie Ertz will be back in her familiar center position to defend and distribute. Lindsay Horan will play there, too, and is no slouch. Expect Tobin Heath to continue to be effective up front. The US has the best squad every assembled, but the possession game they are playing now has never fully suited them. However, their defense should dominate, and they should bring back the gold.
Thanks to BY for allowing comments on the USWNT.
You misunderstood my post. I started to Reply to the thread's misstatement about the starting time of the USA v. Sweden game this morning. Then I saw that several others had already made the correction, so I omitted repeating the correct time (4:30 AM) and just made a comment about the match.The post you quoted has the facts completely wrong when it comes to the game's starting time.
Humiliation is a better word. And props to the Swedish uniforms. Nice and bright. "Notice us world"As Julie Foudy said "complete domination by Sweden"
Correct me if I am wrong but don't alot of the International players still go through the US college system?The balance of power in women’s soccer has been shifting for a number of years. For many years, women’s soccer was dominated by the US, Japan, China, Australia, Brazil & Canada. Strangely enough, while Europe dominated men’s soccer, they were largely late to ramp up women’s soccer.
That began to change dramatically over the last 5-10 years as more European nations significantly upgraded their developmental programs for women’s soccer. During the last Women’s World Cup in 2019, while the US won in a thrilling tournament, European countries were clearly superior to every other country in the world.
Time will tell whether the US can remain one of the top women’s programs in the world. But to do so, the US will have to face an onslaught of top European teams that will only get better.
