Washington PostThe top-ranked U.S. womens national soccer team has won the World Cup three times and Olympic gold four times. But its earliest exit in major competition, during the 2016 Olympic quarterfinals against Sweden, has helped motivate a squad with enough depth and experience to field two quality teams.
And yet the eager Americans were forced to wait through the early days of this tournament. The United States will take on Thailand on Tuesday in Reims, France; theyre the last teams to play a group match.
Were feeling left out, forward Alex Morgan joked Monday.
Thailand is back on the world stage after debuting in Canada four years ago; its ranked No. 34 in the world. The U.S. is expected to easily handle both this game and Sundays against No. 39 Chile before its Group F finale next week against Sweden.

(3,622 posts)1. USA women's team is very good
As usual...
But this year they'll have to look over their shoulders.
Norway, France, England have shown they're ready to challenge.
One thing is certain...they're better than the men's team and deserve to be paid better.
