The United States are 1-0-1 in their group at the Women’s World Cup and need a win or another draw against Portugal to ensure they advance to the round of 16.
The USWNT have never been eliminated in the group stage, and as the No. 1 ranked team in the world, it would be a devastating blow to their record if they were to do so this year.
If they lose to Portugal, not much can be done. Fate will have their future in their hands and they will be heading towards the dreaded elimination. There is only one thing that can turn the tide, and that is if the unthinkable happens in the Netherlands-Vietnam match.
And since it’s football, you never know.
The USA lead Group E on goal difference, with the Netherlands level on four points going into the last game.
Whether we see history broken or extended on Tuesday depends on Trinity Rodman and the rest of the lily-white jerseys.
