The USWNT needs to start telling itself the hard truth Sponsored Cadillac
The U.S. Women’s National Team made it into the knockout stages of the World Cup— or better put, by a few inches of woodwork — early Tuesday morning via a 0-0 draw against Portugal, but after three straight games in which they’ve played below par, you would be hard-pressed to still call them the favorites in this tournament.
In a seven-game World Cup, that is not a small sample size you can scoff at — it is nearly half the tournament, and a veritable trend.Everything you need to know about the 2023 Women’s World Cup including schedule, scores and news ; the Philippines beat New Zealand; Canada was eliminated in the group stage. Ironically, the USWNT helped make that bed with their international stardom, but now they have to lay in it.On the other side, the U.S. has allowed its once world-class youth system to fall behind. The under-20 team has not advanced from a World Cup group stage since 2016. The under-17 team has done so just once since 2008, losing in the 2022 quarterfinal.
Rose Lavelle should have helped solve those issues but instead picked up a needless yellow card that will see her miss the Round of 16, and never quite left her impact on the game.If this is going to turn around, the USWNT needs to start telling itself the truth.
