The United States Women’s National Team have embarked on a road trip to end 2021, as they will take on Australia in two friendlies: Friday night (Saturday afternoon local time) in Sydney and again next Tuesday morning (Tuesday night local time) in Newcastle. The Matildas have always been a terrific test for the USWNT, and they are hoping to end 2021 on a high note in front of their fans.
Australia is just 3-8-3 (W-L-D) in 2021, but they are still ranked 11th in the current FIFA World Rankings. They also finished 4th in the Olympics, just narrowly losing to the USWNT in the bronze medal match back in August.
