The United States Women’s National Team has one big match looming today as they take on Australia in the final group stage match at the Olympics. The USWNT need to win or draw to secure their spot in the knockout stage. A loss could possibly see them end their time in Japan depending on the results of the other matches.
The USWNT always have a tough match whenever they face Australia, and today is not expected to be any different. With players like Sam Kerr and Caitlin Foord, the Aussie attack is dangerous. They are also strong throughout their lineup, so the USWNT will have to concentrate and play well to get the result.
Will the USWNT take care of business? Or, will the Matildas leave the Americans sweating out a spot in the quarterfinals?
