The U.S. national team get their Gold Cup campaign underway against Guyana in Minnesota on Wednesday, with their preparations cast under a cloud after defeats to Jamaica and Venezuela.
While the USWNT is at the Women’s World Cup justifying their tag as tournament favorites, back home Gregg Berhalter’s side have a good deal of work to do if they are to turn their fortunes around and regain the title they won in 2017.
Against Guyana, the lowest FIFA-ranked team in the tournament and a nation making its debut on the major tournament stage, they are expected to win – and win handsomely.
