Welcome to your match thread as the United States Women’s National Team kicks off its sendoff series for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup this afternoon at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The final approach to France begins against South Africa at 4:30 p.m. ET (FOX). It’s the first of three pre-World Cup matches this month for the USWNT.
The USWNT is 4-1-2 in 2019 entering today’s game against Banyana Banyana. South Africa is the 49th ranked team in the world in the latest FIFA women’s rankings and, as such, the United States should not have too much trouble getting a result.
