Three observations from the USWNT's blowout win over Panama

The U.S. women’s national team named a much-changed lineup on Sunday against Panama but, just as it did on Thursday against Mexico, it cruised to an easy World Cup qualifying victory.

This time the U.S. won 5-0 at Sahlen's Stadium in Cary, N.C., all but clinching a spot in the semifinals of the Concacaf Women's Championship. The team will qualify for next summer's World Cup with a victory in the semifinal round.

The Panamanians were overmatched from the off and were it not from a fantastic performance from 17-year-old goalkeeper Yenith Bailey, the score could have truly gotten out of hand.
