The U.S. Women’s National Team beat Vietnam, 3-0, on Friday night in the 2023 Women’s World Cup opener.
The duality of a U.S. Women’s National Team victory over Vietnam that was about as guaranteed as Alabama football beating up on Mercer could be summed up in the timing of the first goal scored.
Whether an eventual 3-0 win — that never once looked under threat but wasn’t quite so emphatic as it might have been — ends up foreboding doom or being the first step in a historic month is a question that can’t be answered yet. There was a game in which Vietnam had almost zero meaningful possession of the ball and failed to record a shot, and yet it was not the sort of ass-kicking to which the world has become accustomed to seeing the USWNT dish out on a World Cup stage.This is the reality in which the USWNT finds itself mired: Still good enough to be considered world-class, and to be the favorite to win its third consecutive World Cup.
This was never going to be the 13-0 thrashing the U.S. put on Thailand four years ago, but some sportsbooks still had a six-goal spread — which Vietnam easily covered. Vietnam’s goalkeeper #14 Thi Kim Thanh Tran stops a penalty by USA’s forward #13 Alex Morgan during the Australia and New Zealand 2023 Women’s World Cup Group E football match between the United States and Vietnam at Eden Park in Auckland on July 22, 2023.The biggest tactical gamble deployed by coach Vlatko Andonovski, lining Julie Ertz up in defense, can’t really be judged off a game that was almost entirely played in Vietnam’s half.
