Experts have not liked how the team has functioned as a unit, with the team managing just 4 goals in their three games. If the team does not find their grove going ahead, with every game a do-or-die, the USWNT could take an early exit from the tournament.

With the team to face the leader of Group G in the round of 16, the team could be up against either Sweden or South Africa. Sweden is in a red-hot run in the competition with 2 wins in 2 games and could pose as a big threat to the USWNT if they finish top of their table.
