USWNT breaks Women's World Cup record, Thailand sets unwanted mark

The U.S. women's national team has set another record at the 2019 Women's World Cup.

The USA created a piece of history in Thursday's group-stage finale against Sweden as they set a new benchmark for the most goals scored in the group stage of a World Cup, men's or women's tournament, at 18.

The record-setting group stage should come as little shock.

The USWNT opened their campaign by scoring 13 times against Thailand - recording the biggest win in either men's or women's World Cup history to put side well on its way to the 18 needed to set a new mark.
