Welcome to your match thread as the United States Women’s National Team plays the second match in its sendoff series for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in St. Louis. The U.S. will see a familiar face on the other bench as former USWNT and Orlando Pride head coach Tom Sermanni leads the Football Ferns into tonight’s match.
The USWNT is 14-1-1 in the all-time series against New Zealand, with the most recent meeting being a 5-0 win by the U.S. on Sept. 19, 2017 in Cincinnati. The Yanks are 5-1-2 in 2019, playing all but one of those games against teams bound for the World Cup in France next month.
