🇺🇸 New look USSWNT Start 2025 on a High

The national team of American women started the new year in fashion with a 2-0 win over Colombia on Thursday in the Shebelieves Cup, with a series of new faces that use the game to argue for themselves, while head coach Emma Hayes continues to expand it Player Pool.

Catarina Macario and Ally Sentnor scored goals on each side of the break to ensure that the USWNT would come with the victory, so that large occasions would be marked for both. The goal led to a triumphant return to the national team for the 25-year-old Macario, who played in three years after her second USWNT match after dealing with an ACL Tleet and other injury teams as a result. Thursday’s game offered a quick memory why Macario is one of the most exciting players in the Player Pool Kom, Fitness.

In the meantime, Sentnor made the best of a chance that she was offered in the absence of the “Triple Espresso” – Trinity Rodman, Mallory Swanson and Sophia Wilson. The ruling American football young female player of the year scored her first goal at senior level with a rocket from a distance, but was very dynamic in the second half and could have added a few goals to her count.

Perhaps the biggest highlight of the game was Lily Yohannes, the 17-year-old who chose to represent the US about the Netherlands last fall. She bossed midfield in her first international start, together with colleague Starters Macario and Yazmeen Ryan and demonstrated why she is the most promising young player in the national team. Thursday’s midfield outing was almost in these circumstances, and was perhaps the best performance of the USWNT in the center of the park after years of imbalance.

Hayes treats the Shebelieves Cup, as well as in the coming months, as a kind of actual mission and offers a wide range of players opportunities to prove their value while working out the player pool prior to the 2027 ladies world cup. As a result, she can go with a different look on Sunday when they are confronted with Australia in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

💵 Dear bets

• MLS: La Galaxy vs. San Diego FC, Sunday 7 pm
  💰 The Pick: La Galaxy to win 2-1 (+750) -A matchup between the reigning MLS Cup winners and an expansion team that plays their very first match, seems like a mismatch, so the lead is of course with the Galaxy. This game is perhaps a bit more than one could expect, in view of the expenditure of the Galaxy, forced by compliance with the salary cap and the fact that the designated player of San Diego, Hirving Lozano, will undoubtedly have an impact.
• MLS: MLS Cup Champion
  💰 The choice: Lafc to win MLS Cup (+600) – A bet on Inter Miami is perhaps the easiest way to go, but they will certainly not be the only contenders in the mix towards the end of the year. Lafc could be up to those teams, given their strong 2024, when they finished the top of the Western Conference, and most of those important members of that team are a year ago.
