As expected, it was all USA on Friday night (or Saturday afternoon if you were at the game).
The scoreboard didn’t look like it, but there’s a reason why sportsbooks didn’t even allow bettors to place wagers on the USWNT in their first Women’s World Cup game.
The USA took down Vietnam, 3-0, late Friday night in Auckland, New Zealand as they began their quest for a threepeat.
Sophia Smith found the back of the net in the 14th minute with her left foot to open up the scoreboard, and it would take a while for the U.S. to score again – Alex Morgan’s penalty kick in the 44th minute was even saved to keep it a one-goal game, but Smith scored again just before the half to put the United States up two.
