When play opened in Group D at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup on Monday, two key position groups displayed plenty of weaknesses.
On Friday in Winnipeg, the forwards of the United States women's national team and Sweden's defense will line up against each other in an attempt to redeem themselves in what is expected to be a heated affair.
Despite coming away from its World Cup opener with a victory, the USWNT left the pitch wanting more out of the forward position.
Abby Wambach started the match next to Sydney Leroux, but neither saw much of the ball for long spells of time.
