France’s Opening Win A Statement Of Intent — To The USWNT

The opening match of the Women’s World Cup is in the books, host France crushing South Korea 4-0. But more than the final score, the France vs South Korea highlights showed one thing: the American women will have to beat Les Bleues if they hope to repeat, and it won’t be easy.

The USWNT entered the 2019 Women’s World Cup as the favorite to win it all. Jill Ellis’ side is ranked No. 1 in the world, features some of the best attacking talent on the planet and has the experience to repeat as champion.

France was the first victim of VAR at Women’s World Cup after a goal was disallowed for the narrowest of offside calls in the first half of the first match of the tournament. 

Mia Hamm And Mallory Pugh Star In Gatorade’s Women’s World Cup Ad

While we can doubt the historical accuracy of this Gatorade commercial — Mia Hamm played her final match for the USWNT in 2004, when Mallory Pugh was only six — we can’t doubt its quality, or its use of Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” 

As the second-youngest player on the USWNT World Cup roster, Pugh will be an inspiration to many this summer. The 21-year-old already has 53 caps and 16 goals to her name, and she’ll likely be the first player Jill Ellis turns to if the USWNT needs a spark in attack.
