Strong performances across the board in a dominant performance over Costa Rica.
Starting XI: Hope Solo; Kelley O'Hara, Julie Johnston, Becky Sauerbrunn, Meghan Klingenberg; Allie Long, Lindsey Horan, Carli Lloyd (c); Crystal Dunn, Alex Morgan, Mallory Pugh
There were no big surprises in the starting lineup sent out by Jill Ellis. A pre-match announcement made clear that Morgan Brian and Tobin Heath were being held out for precautionary reasons, due to recent minor injuries. But apart from those two, this may well be Ellis's preferred XI going into the first match in Rio.
