The only preparation tournament for the United States Women’s National Team ahead of the 2019 FIFA World Cup began on Wednesday. In front of the supporters at Talen Energy Stadium, the USWNT opened the 2019 SheBelieves Cup with a draw against Japan.
The rematch of the 2015 FIFA World Cup final did not disappoint in entertainment. Japan scored a late equalizer in second-half stoppage time to prevent the USWNT from a three-point start to the competition.
Alex Morgan scored her 99th international goal, but it wasn't enough for a win in the USWNT's #SheBelieves opener.
