Carli Lloyd and team is looking to get just one point to get on the top spot in the group table. On that basis, US becomes more favorable to go in the top 8 round. Then, the winner will play with the third placed team, and the runner-up will have a game with first place team of Group F, i.e., Canada as of now who won 2012 bronze.

However, the match with the third placed team can be really tough, if it turns out to be an opponent like Germany or Australia or any other high ranking team.

However, US team shouldn’t have any reason to fear from any other team. The world champions haven’t yet reached in their best / top notch form. However, they showed some glimpses in Brazil, but they were only shades. Without solid defense and mental toughness, winning games in a row become difficult.

USA defeated New Zealand by 2-0, and the credit goes to big saves. Hope Solo saved goals, thus survived the early flourish and then won over France with unorganized and close range finish by skipper Lloyd.

The US team will hope to face some easier opponent. It is evident that it has dominated Colombia in the past. Las Cafeteras has performed really well in the last three major tournaments. Speaking of the last encounters, US won by 3-0 in 2011 World Cup group play and the 2012 Olympics, and then by 2-0 in the round of 16 at the World Cup which took place last year.
