US Women lost their 2019 friendly opener to France, 3-1, in France. Several US starters were out of the lineup due to illness or injury and France is #3 in the world, Not an impressive showing for sure; but, at least there are explainable excuses for the loss.

Games start this week. US is still ranked #1 in the world, but lost to #3 France earlier this winter.
Japan is #8, England #4, and Brazil #10.
1st and 3rd games on FS1, England game on regular Fox.
With one game to go in this prep tourney against high quality teams, I am not getting a great feeling about our chances to repeat as World Cup champs. We need the top two teams to draw (tie) and also beat Brazil by 3 or more goals to win the thing. Final matches are on Tuesday.

I am not a fan of Jill Ellis as most folks know. She got lucky in the last cup when several vets took the team on their back and Abby pretty much ciached the team after they stumbled out of the gate
Yeah I agree this team does not look like a contender
Wow, I completely dropped the ball keeping this update through the final spring tuneups. 
World Cup starts next week (June 7); but, the US is in group F and doesn't play until the 11th.

The third game is very likely to determine who finishes first in the group, with the loser likely finishing second.
There is speculation that finishing 2nd might actually be better than first based on the knockout pairings.
Winner of our group plays 2nd place team from Group B (Germany, Spain, or China); but, would also likely be paired against France in Paris in the quarterfinals.
2nd place team plays 2nd place team from group E (Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, Cameroon). Netherlands is ranked higher than Spain; but, experts think Spain is currently playing better. More importantly, we'd avoid France in the quarters.

China, trying to set women's soccer back 30 years by playing like it's 1989, finally goes down 0-1 to Germany.
Playing ugly to win is one thing, going prehistoric, is another. I hope they don't win a game the entire tournament.
Those Germans pillaged my people more than once over the last couple hundred years, but I'm rooting for them today.

My daughter and I watched and that was pretty much our take too. Someone should have told them they were not playing rugby. Should have been one possibly two red cards against them
You're late to the party. Didn't like my earlier thread that I started during WC Prep?
I kept wondering when/if a card was coming, I felt like I was watching a match from 1980s soccer
