For the first time in years, the United States Women’s National Team are in a must-win situation with their backs against the wall. The defending World Cup champions enter their match tomorrow against New Zealand desperately needing a win to stay in the thick of things in Group G at the Olympics. Their 3-0 loss to Sweden on Wednesday was a rude wake up call, and it will be on head coach Vlatko Andonovski to make the adjustments necessary for the team to play to its capability.
For New Zealand, they’re also looking for a win to stay in the hunt after losing to Australia in their first match.
