The U.S. women's national team will look to overpower Brazil and win the 2018 Tournament of Nations when the two meet at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois, on Thursday.
The USWNT is coming off a dramatic 1-1 draw against defending champions Australia in Connecticut on Sunday, thanks to a last-minute equaliser from Lindsey Horan. While the U.S. was held to a stalemate, Brazil won its second game, overcoming Japan 2-1 courtesy of goals from Beatriz and the legendary Marta.
Keeping Brazil's quality No. 10 quiet will be key for the U.S., while Jill Ellis' team can rely on Carli Lloyd, skipper Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe for inspiration in forward areas.
