A New Era with Emma Hayes

Under the guidance of new manager Emma Hayes, the team is undergoing significant changes. Hayes is focusing on youth to rejuvenate the squad’s performance. In a bold move, she dropped veteran striker Alex Morgan, marking the first tournament for the US without her since the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Youthful Energy and Potential

This year’s squad is notably younger, with an average age four years lower than the team selected three years ago. It is the youngest US women’s squad since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The youthful energy and potential are expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the team, potentially turning the tide in their favor.

Challenges and Key Players

Goals have been elusive in the run-up to the tournament, presenting a challenge for the squad. The responsibility of finding the back of the net and leading the team to victory falls on the shoulders of forwards Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman, and Mallory Swanson. Their ability to click and deliver on the field will be crucial in determining the team’s success.
