The USWNT showed they are also capable of getting the result while trailing on the scoreboard. Even with a plethora of substitutions.
Emma Hayes’ perfect record with the U.S. women’s national team will remain intact after yet another winning performance from the USWNT on Sunday, defeating Iceland 3-1 in their second and last head-to-head against this week at Geodis Park.

New U.S. women’s national team manager, Emma Hayes, has had a tremendous impact in her first trimester in charge of the United States. Including experienced captain Lindsey Horan.
The former Chelsea gaffer lead the USWNT to their first gold Olympic medal in 12 years, returning the national team to the podium of women’s soccer after a disastrous exit in the 2023 World Cup.
The United States women’s national team advanced to the gold medal match with a 1-0 victory vs. Germany on Tuesday, however not all USA fans were impressed.
American captain Lindsey Horan has received the most criticism of any USWNT player on the field after a string of poor performances. Her two knockout games against Japan and Germany saw careless giveaways that sprung attacks for the opponent and sluggish play in the midfield.
The United States women’s national team narrowly surpassed Japan in the Olympic quarterfinals on Saturday with a nervy 1-0 victory with several poor individual performances. USWNT captain Lindsey Horan had one of the worst showings.
The 30-year-old captain had a number of sloppy turnovers that turned into opportunities for Japan, she was far too slow on and off the ball and had a scare or two back on defense.
In the 35th minute she uncharacteristically let Japan’s Mina Tanaka spin away from her in the box to rip a shot that forced Alyssa Naeher into action.
Four-time Olympic soccer champions United States have put their disastrous Women's World Cup campaign in the rear view mirror, captain Lindsey Horan said on Monday, with young talent hungry to top the podium in Paris.
The Americans settled for bronze at the COVID-delayed Tokyo Games three years ago and captured their last gold in 2012.
They have pride on the line this time around after their worst showing at a Women's World Cup last year that saw them knocked out in the round of 16.

The Emma Hayes Era commenced with an extraordinary win.
USWNT defeat South Korea in Emma Hayes debut as head coach
The U.S. women’s national team had their first match and win under the management of new head coach Emma Hayes as they defeated South Korea in a jam-packed DSG Stadium in Colorado this Saturday.
May 30 (Reuters) - Fans can expect a sharper United States women's national team with coach Emma Hayes on the sidelines for the first time, captain Lindsey Horan said ahead of Saturday's friendly with South Korea.
The U.S. are out for redemption after last year's disastrous World Cup campaign, eyeing the top of the Olympic podium in Paris this year with the former Chelsea manager at the helm.
Lindsey Horan — "You're going to see a lot of growth in the USWNT with Emma Hayes."
The United States women’s national team will go on a month-and-a-half hiatus following a spring that saw them lift the inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup and their seventh SheBelieves Cup. We’d say we’ve seen enough for a USWNT Olympic roster prediction.
Incoming USWNT head coach Emma Hayes will need to narrow the roster to 18 names for the Paris Olympics. She’ll have watched both tournaments and have a solid idea of who deserves to go.
The United States women’s national team mounted a 2-1 comeback victory vs. Japan in the SheBelieves Cup semifinal on Saturday in front of a record crowd in Atlanta, Georgia.
The 50,644 fans (the most ever for a non-World Cup or Olympic game on U.S. soil) in Mercedes-Benz Stadium sat stunned when Japan figuratively punched the USWNT in the mouth with a goal just 30 seconds into the game.
30 seconds is all it takes for Japan’s Kiko Seike to take the lead vs. USWNT.
Woah
United States women’s national team head coach Twila Kilgore turned heads with her starting XI for the SheBelieves Cup semifinal vs. Japan on Saturday. Korbin Albert will start the game on the bench and Mallory Swanson returns for the first time in a year.
Swanson last started a game with the USWNT on April 8, 2023, when she suffered a severe knee injury. She’s back in the starting XI for the first time since.
