The pressure will be on the USWNT to pick up definitive wins over Canada, Brazil and Japan to settle lingering questions around its readiness for the World Cup. itsmeglinehan discusses what to expect in your full SheBelieves Cup guide.
There’s no ignoring that the USWNT will be under pressure to produce three comprehensive performances during SheBelieves Cup, but Canada, Brazil and Japan will each provide their own interesting tests. As much as the national team got value out of traveling to Auckland and Wellington last month and experiencing a dry run of its World Cup group stage in New Zealand, the Ferns posed a very different opponent than what the USWNT will face in February.
“It will show us where the team is now, but I don’t think it will be a real parameter of where the team is going to be five-and-a-half months from now,” he said earlier this month. “I know we’re going to try different things and test different combinations of players. I’m sure that the same thing will happen with the teams that we’re going to face, so I don’t think it will show the exact level of where the teams are at.
It’s another chance — as Morgan pointed out, the last one of 2023 before the big show — for less experienced players to learn how to manage travel and the fatigue of a tournament setting.That importance extends to the three other teams participating, too. Canada will be under more scrutiny following their Olympic success in Tokyo, and they would get a massive mental boost from grabbing a result against the U.S. — especially after dropping the final at last summer’s W Championship.
