is very motivated to want to beat the U.S.

Any time you play against the U.S., teams show up, and they defend really well, they fight for their lives, and their mentality is unmatched.

So they're going to have a challenge, and it's about the communication for the U.S., it's about the building relationships on the field, and it's about having that consistency at this level.

So I'm looking for another tough matchup with, you know, just defensive side of the game.

But on the attacking side of the game, I think we're going to have a lot of freedom.

We're going to have a lot of the ball.

I think it's just going to be able now the challenges to be able to break down the Chilean defense and find the back of the net.

But once you do that, just like last game against Paraguay, the floodgates will open up.

So I'm hoping that we'll see a lot of goals there.

But, you know, these players haven't really had an opportunity to play together consistently for the U.S.

So we're going to be seeing a lot of new faces and new relationships building at the same time.

And so that gives other players an opportunity to want to have this chance and to run with it.

So I think there'll be a lot of chances created.

It's just a matter of if we can put the ball in the back of the net.

Yes, unbelievable.

This is why she has been playing at the highest level and consistently.

She's been a staple for Manchester United.

She's the reason why they have been performing well in the Champions League as well.

Her leadership, her quality, the decision-making, and just her athletic ability, her reaction phase, that quick reaction is what it's all about.

Yes, we woke up early in my house to watch this game.
