USWNT is doing in friendly internationals what everyone knew they would do. They have won both matches with little to no resistance whatsoever. However, amid everything, one USWNT star has some harsh words to say about these matches. They looked at these matches as an experiment for USWNT as they were playing without a few key players. However, the blowout that took place was not surprising at all. Megan Rapinoe wasn’t playing in these matches but was cheering the team from the home.

After these matches, there are only three more internationals before USWNT kick off their WC. The FIFA tournament will kick off in July and will take place in Australia/ New Zealand. USWNT are the favorites to win the tournament as they keep on dominating International teams. USWNT, if they win the trophy will achieve the biggest achievement in sports. This tournament will be the 2nd chance for USWNT to achieve the ‘Three peat’.

Her story suggests it happened in the first match as well. A team that has been dominant in its run, a team going to appear in the world cup this year is facing such issues that make fans wonder.

Fans witnessed the impact of Trinity Rodman

Just before the kick-off, fans had asked USWNT to have Trinity in the starting. They included her in the 2nd match starting lineup and she opened the game by showcasing her skills. In these 2 games, we might have not seen the young star player playing to her full strength, but she still managed to make 3 assists and impact both games.
