The U.S. women’s national team clinched first place in Group A of the Concacaf Women's Championship on Wednesday with an easy 7-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago.
The away side showed no interest in really playing, instead settling into a deep block and looking to absorb pressure as much as they could.
It's hard to blame T&T for this approach, as the Soca Princesses had absorbed three-goal defeats to both Panama and Mexico – teams the U.S. beat by a combined 11-0 scoreline. The strategy worked to a certain extent, with the U.S. only up 1-0 just a couple minutes before the half, but the floodgates eventually opened.
