The only team not to concede a goal at the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship also came out of the tournament without any obvious clarity around its starting back four and No. 1 goalkeeper. Go figure.
U.S. women's national team head coach Vlatko Andonovski started a different back line in each of the team's five games on its way to winning another continental crown and qualifying for both the 2023 World Cup and 2024 Olympics. He fielded five unique starting 11s as part of his ongoing experimentation with a new group of younger players -- but it is in defense where the changes appear to be more about finding solutions than having players get reps.
