The U.S. Women’s National Team opened up their World Cup defense with a record-breaking 13-0 victory over group opponents Thailand. Everyone expected an easy victory for the champions, but nothing quite like what we saw on Tuesday.
Fans have been waiting for this match ever since the final whistle blew in Vancouver, Canada four years ago when the U.S. were crowned champions for the third time. So anticipation was through the roof to see the USWNT run out once again in France.
But everyone was taken for a little surprise when the starting line-ups were released ahead of game time.
