The USWNT’s quest for a World Cup three-peat continues on Wednesday night with a matchup against the Netherlands.
The Americans weren’t at their best in their opening game against Vietnam, but they got the job done, securing a 3-0 victory thanks to a brace from Sophia Smith and a goal from Lindsey Horan. It moved them into first place in Group E with three points, ahead of the Netherlands on goal difference.
