The United States looks poised to reign in Group E, while France and Brazil will try to emerge from a tough Group F.
The United States lost one of its best players, forward Mallory Swanson, to injury in an exhibition match against Ireland earlier this year. Swanson was the team’s top scorer this year with seven goals. The team has options to replace her, including Lynn Williams, Trinity Rodman and possibly Megan Rapinoe. Alex Morgan and Rapinoe lead the United States among active players with nine goals each.
The United States beat the Netherlands, 2-0, to win the 2019 World Cup. The team’s most memorable World Cup final came in 1999 at the Rose Bowl, when the Americans prevailed over China on penalty kicks. In the 2015 final, Carli Lloyd scored three goals in the first 16 minutes. Overall, the U.S. is 8-1-1 against the Dutch. It will be the first meeting with Vietnam. The Americans have won all 10 matches they’ve played against Portugal.
