Is there a tv schedule for the US games yet?
USA vs Vietnam: Fri July 21, 9 PM ET, FOX
USA vs Netherlands: Wed July 26, 9 PM ET, FOX
USA vs Portugal: Tues Aug 1, 3 AM ET, FOX
It would not be fair, but they should probably hold the event in North America until it develops a bigger international audience.i see they are really struggling to sell tickets down under.
Very excited for USA’s first match! One hour away. Predictions for anything? I’ll say Sophia Smith gets first goal in 18th minute. 3-0 final.
A team such as Vietnam is going to pack it in and make goals difficult for USA. That is why I predicted only 3-0 against a team they are clearly superior to.Should do better than this but looking more likely to be a narrow win so far. Don't see the ladies getting it done this year. Lots of injuries and just haven't been in sync over the past year.

USA definitely has injuries but so does England and a few others. And Spain has labor, personnel issues. So maybe it is still wide open and USA might still have a chance.
Whom do you see as the favorite?Don't see the ladies getting it done this year.

You believe those four teams have a better shot than the US?It's pretty wide open honestly. Not saying they can't but as inconsistent as they have been I think this year they get knocked off the top perch. England, France, Germany, Spain.. all have a shot. Don't count out the Aussies as a dark horse being neighbors to the hosts.

I understand. You’re picking “the field.”I said it's wide open and they have a shot. The U.S. is lacking strong wing play and service in the final third. They have to be quicker on crosses and spotting runs. Midfield play is sloppy and Horan has not shown to be a leader.
Their margin for error is far reduced with the form of this group right now. Not to mention Morgan is past her prime upfront too. So they are much more vulnerable than they were in 2019 and that was tough sledding albeit a fun tournament with some awesome matches.
