The United States begins its journey to a record third consecutive Women’s World Cup title with the same confidence it had in winning the last two tournaments.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — In the words of Vietnam's coach, facing the U.S. national team in the Women's World Cup is a daunting quest, something “like a mountain,” said Mai Duc Chung.
“Fear? We Believe,” said captain Nuynh Nhu. “We've already prepared. Nothing to fear, nothing to be afraid of.” The United States has a new cast of players at this World Cup, including 14 who are making their first appearance in soccer's biggest tournament. Among them is 18-year-old phenom Alyssa Thompson and up-and-comer Trinity Rodman, the 20-year-old daughter of former NBA star Dennis Rodman.
Megan Rapinoe is among the veterans on the squad and should make her 200th appearance for the national team if she plays against Vietnam. Rapinoe, 38, announced before the team left for New Zealand that this would be her last World Cup and she would retire from her professional team at the end of the season.
Catarina Macario tore an ACL last year while playing for the French club Lyon and was unable to recover in time. But the biggest blow was the loss of captain Becky Sauerbrunn, who announced that a right foot injury suffered in April would keep her out of the World Cup.
