The United States' quest for a three-peat is underway.
The USWNT kicked off their opening game of the 2023 World Cup with a 3-0 win over Vietnam on Friday in New Zealand. Sophia Smith, a 22-year-old forward, put on a show in her World Cup debut, recording two goals and an assist to become the second-youngest player in USWNT history to score multiple goals in a World Cup game.
The competition will get tougher for Smith and the U.S. as group stage play continues next week. The defending champs, who won the last two World Cups, face the Netherlands on Wednesday in a rematch of the 2019 final.
The Netherlands lost that match 2-0 to the U.S. while attempting to win its first World Cup. They play their opening match of the 2023 tournament on Sunday morning against Portugal.
