The Women’s World Cup is less than 100 days away and the USWNT battled Japan in conditions they will hope are a far cry from the summer weather in France. A blustery night where temperatures reached 37 degrees with a windchill that brought it down to a brisk 30 certainly scared some fans, along with the fact that it was a school night, but the 14,555 who made the trip to Chester were in full voice all throughout.
Brazil vs England was the undercard and served up some appetizing soccer for the early comers in a majority pro-USWNT crowd.
