From a pure numbers perspective, the field at Concacaf's Olympic qualifying tournament remains no match for the U.S. women's national team. The stats are staggering. In 22 matches all-time in the competition, the U.S. women are 21-0-1. They've scored 116 goals (an average of over five per game) and allowed just three. After that one draw, 1-1 vs. Canada in the 2008 title match, they prevailed in penalty kicks.
They've never failed to qualify for the Olympics, and after topping their group following a 6-0 thrashing of an overmatched Costa Rica Monday night, they head to the decisive semifinal match in Los Angeles as an overwhelming favorite to make it 7-for-7 in reaching the Olympic stage.
