Starting XI: Alyssa Naeher, Casey Short, Becky Sauerbrunn, Abby Dahklkemper, Emily Sonnett, Christen Press, Lindsey Horan, Julie Ertz, Rose Lavelle, Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd
The formation for Vlatko Andonovski’s first game as USWNT head coach might have been shown as the 4-3-3 we’ve all come to know and tolerate over the past year or so, but in reality he had his players arranged in a 4-1-4-1, with Carli Lloyd as his 9 and a rotating cast of attacker looking to break Sweden’s back line.
The United States started off very, very strong with a 6’ goal from Lloyd.
