USWNT Back in Action, Takes on Colombia in Friendly Match
The US Women's National Team is back! After a successful World Cup campaign, the team is gearing up for the 2024 Olympics, and what better way to kick things off than with a friendly match against Colombia?
This game, held at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado, was a chance for fans to see the new faces on the roster, like the young stars Trinity Rodman and Alyssa Thompson, and get a glimpse of what the team might look like heading into the Olympics.
The game itself was a bit of a snoozefest, to be honest. The USWNT dominated possession and created a ton of chances, but they just couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. It was frustrating to watch, but hey, it's just a friendly!
The USWNT dominated, but couldn't convert.
The biggest takeaway from the match was the sheer dominance of the USWNT. They had the lion's share of possession, creating a ton of scoring opportunities. However, the finishing was lacking. Even with the likes of Alex Morgan and Sophia Smith on the field, the team struggled to find the back of the net.
New Faces Shine, But Experience Still Reigns
While the veterans led the way, it was exciting to see some of the younger players make their mark. Trinity Rodman, daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman, showed her skill and athleticism on the wing. And Alyssa Thompson, the youngest player to ever feature for the USWNT, looked like she belonged on the big stage.
A Look Ahead
Despite the lack of goals, the game was a valuable experience for the USWNT. The team learned a lot about themselves and their strengths and weaknesses. The game also provided a chance for the coaching staff to experiment with different lineups and formations.
As the USWNT looks ahead to the 2024 Olympics, they will need to continue to improve their finishing. But with the talent and experience on the roster, they are well-positioned to be a force on the world stage.
This game was a great chance for fans to see the team back in action after their World Cup success. It was also a great opportunity for the team to work on their chemistry and to see what they need to work on before the big games begin. Let's see what they can do in their next friendly match, and keep an eye out for these exciting new faces.
