Featured Game | United States vs. Netherlands
Why you should back the USWNT
Team USA is back in top form after losing three straight friendlies last fall, as their triumph against Vietnam was their 10th consecutive victory across all competitions. The U.S. has scored 24 goals during the winning streak while allowing only two. Even though the Americans are without forward Mallory Swanson (knee), who scored eight times over the first seven games of the run before getting hurt, they have several other offensive weapons at their disposal.
One of them is Sophia Smith, who recorded a brace and added an assist in her Women’s World Cup debut against the Vietnamese last Friday. The 22-year-old forward has scored 14 goals in 31 career matches with the national team. Veteran striker Alex Morgan, who notched her 50th career assist in the opener, also is a major threat as she has netted 121 goals in 208 contests. See who to back at SportsLine.

Why you should back the Netherlands
The Dutch were dominant during Women’s World Cup Qualifying, recording six wins and a pair of draws in eight matches. They outscored their opponents 31-3, with the only goals conceded coming in their two draws against the Czech Republic. Leading scorer Vivianne Miedema (eight goals) is unavailable for the Women’s World Cup due to a torn ACL, but midfielder Jill Roord is an offensive threat as she recorded seven goals and two assists over eight qualifying games.
The Netherlands outshot Portugal 12-2 in their WWC opener and had a 5-1 advantage in shots on target. They took the lead just 13 minutes into the contest, with defender Stefanie van der Gragt converting. The Dutch also will look for offense from 30-year-old winger Lieke Martens, who is the top scorer on the current roster with 59 career international goals. See who to back at SportsLine.
