storyline
USWNT: Hayes’ 26-man roster, named after this October period, is largely utilized. Some players made their debuts, starting at senior level for the first time, while the Olympic gold medalists, who qualify for the playoffs with their NWSL club teams, were rotated throughout the games. The manager stated in his pre-match availability that no player would play more than two 90-minute matches in this period, and with one game remaining the group looks to be on track to achieve that. . In addition to new faces, there are also some new tactics, with one more game left to see the USWNT implement Hayes’ three-back vision against a young Argentina team.
Argentina: Head coach Germain Portanova named 20 players to the roster this season. Many of them are up-and-coming talent who join the program with an eye on the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Four players on this roster have played in less than 20 games, and three of them are uncapped. Seven players are under the age of 25 and four players are teenagers. They are led by their most experienced defender, Aldana Cometti, who has played in 85 games.
USWNT vs Argentina Prediction
Even with the rotation, Argentina is a somewhat familiar opponent at this point, and the USWNT has a history of gaining an edge against them. The last game of this period was no exception, with a win by more than two points likely to be seen as a missed opportunity. choose: USWNT 3, Argentina 0
