The U.S. women's soccer team will play the final match of its send-off series ahead of the 2015 World Cup when it entertains Korea Republic in New Jersey. As a final warm-up for her players ahead of the big tournament, coach Jill Ellis will need to engineer a delicate balancing act at Red Bull Arena.
She will want players fit and sharp for the World Cup, but Ellis will also be wary of late injuries before the real action begins in Canada in June. It's a tough mix for a coach who'll want to see fluency and rapport in the team's passing and combination play, but she may be loath to risk too many important players.
