The USWNT defeated Vietnam 3–0 in its opening game of the women’s World Cup, starting off their quest for a three-peat on the right foot. However, head coach Vlatko Andonovski said even though the team got the win, they left some opportunities on the pitch.
“Obviously we came here to win the game. And we did that,” Andonovski said, via The Los Angeles Times. “Unfortunately, we didn’t capitalize on all the opportunities, great opportunities, that we created. And that’s something that we’re certainly going to focus on.”
While the team will work on finishing in between games, Fox Sports analyst Carli Lloyd doesn’t believe that is enough. The former soccer star, who played in four World Cups, argued that it is too late to work on this aspect of the game.
