Update:

The USWNT, off the back of their Women’s World Cup disappointment, have announced a pair of friendlies against Colombia, scheduled for October.

The team, led by Vlatko Andonovski, cruised through the group stages with a draw against the Netherlands followed by a couple of wins over Vietnam and Portugal. However, they faced Sweden in the Round of 16 and failed to get past the side after 120 minutes, ultimately losing on penalties.

Led by Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe and Lindsey Horan, the USWNT were looking to achieve their third consecutive World Cup title, having taken home the trophy in 2015 and 2019. However, Andonovski brought with him 14 new players who had never previously played at the showpiece event, and despite the promise of a high ceiling for the future of the squad, they failed to produce.
