USWNT and their World Cup aim
With the FIFA Women’s World Cup just around the corner, all eyes are on the USWNT as they look to defend their title and win the tournament for a third consecutive time. The journey to the World Cup has been a long and difficult one for the USWNT, having to go through tough qualifying matches. However, they have made it to the big stage and will be looking to make a big impact in the tournament.
The first task for the USWNT will be to get out of the group stage, which will be no easy feat. They are up against some competition in the form of the Netherlands, Portugal, and Vietnam. However, if they can put in a good performance in the group stage, they will give themselves a good chance of going deep into the tournament and ultimately winning it for a third consecutive time.
