USWNT Can Still 'Refine and Polish' After 13-0 Thailand Rout, Says Jill Ellis

The United States Women's National Team opened their FIFA Women's World Cup title defence with a record-breaking 13-0 win over Thailand on Tuesday, but coach Jill Ellis still expects her side to improve.

The USA notched the biggest margin of victory at either the men's or the women's World Cup as they sent out a warning in France to any potential challengers.

Per Goal's James Willoughby, Ellis said:

"We're going to sit and look at some film. There's always things you can refine and polish.

"I'm not sure exactly what our next opponent [Chile] will do, but teams sit low and it invites us on top of them a lot.
