Recap: USA 6-0 Belgium
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsStarting XI: Alyssa Naeher, Ali Krieger, Becky Sauerbrunn, Julie Ertz, Tierna Davidson, Lindsey Horan, Samantha Mewis, Crystal Dunn, Mallory Pugh, Carli Lloyd, Christen Press
On first glance for the starting lineup, it’s definitely a starting XI able to win against Belgium, and it’s also mix of players getting put in familiar positions. Julie Ertz at center back, Crystal Dunn and Samantha Mewis in the midfield, Christen Press at forward. Also Ali Krieger at right back! After a long absence. Giving us all a small taste of what used to be, when back in 2015 Krieger, Sauerbrunn, and Ertz were part of fierce four back anchored by Hope Solo.
