HARRISON, N.J. — The U.S. women’s national team returned to Harrison, N.J., for its third consecutive World Cup sendoff match, drawing an announced crowd of 26,332 —100 short of a sellout.
Before the 2015 World Cup, the team played in front of a sellout crowd as the team played South Korea to a 0-0 draw a little more than a month before winning the World Cup. In 2011, however, the team beat Mexico 1-0 in front of a crowd of 5,852.
The crowd at Sunday’s match was energetic and loud, particularly every time the U.S. attacked during a match that saw the hosts take 25 shots.
