The USWNT is solidly in the driver’s seat to take home the 2026 SheBelieves Cup. After making easy work of Argentina, the Stars and Stripes passed their biggest test in the tournament beating Canada 1-0. While the matches so far have seen the USA play dominant soccer, there has been something missing. The wins against Argentina and Canada had the quality of a team that can crush an opponent’s spirit by not letting them hope to score, much less win. What’s been absent is the sense that the Americans can score at will regardless of how organized or physical a defense plays. Winning the tournament will be satisfying, doing it in a way that is devastating would be delightful.

Honestly, I’m mostly excited to see what Caicedo is gonna get up to:

Linda Caicedo will play a big role in any surprises that the Las Cafeteras have in store for the USA. According to the Guardian, she will be the best player on the field and it’s hard to argue that an athlete scoring goals and creating assists for Real Madrid while pushing her national team deep into the Copa America isn’t worthy of that distinction. She scored the lone goal against Argentina and will be a player the American defenders need to contain in order to ensure a win.
