Sunday Cup-o-American Soccer: Swedish cowards lite

The USWNT had an uneven performance against Sweden yesterday and was lucky to salvage a 1-1 draw against the Scandinavians. In a game that celebrated Carli Lloyd’s incredible 300th cap for the national team, the Americans had difficulty establishing an effective attack and Sweden had the better chances in the match. It was just a friendly, but probably brought back more than one uncomfortable memory from the Olympics in 2016. This is obviously a different team with a new manager, but aside from the midfield, the US looked fallible in the game.

After a successful run in the She Believes Cup, this certainly showed the team has work to do against tougher competition.
