Looking back to matches they played last year, they beat Cambodia 11-0, Malaysia 8-0 and Timor-Leste 8-0. I can't imagine what the score would be if USA played Cambodia.
However, they did also beat Australia in the final of another tournament. Hard to explain.

It's not that hard to explain. Thailand are just a much better team than the 13-0 scoreline suggests.

In 1989/90 Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 9-0 in the league, but lost to them 4-3 in the FA Cup semi-final. That's football for you.

I totally agree but surely any women's team has to go some way to matching that fabled 37 - 0 bashing that American Samoa men's team got. Am I right in thinking that result is still in dispute over the actual score line ?

Australia beat American Samoa 31-0, not 37-0. It was a qualifying match for the 2002 World Cup and the scoreline isn't in dispute.

have the babes swopped shirts yet??

Don't think they do that anymore or it is confined to the dressing rooms.
England v Argentina in 9mins. Come on the Lionesses-ROAR like them and play like them.

Hmm shouldn't they be playing Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem(as they do at the Commonwealth Games) and not God Save the Queen which is the BRITISH national anthem?

Nah in all Fifa Tournaments they play god save the queen

GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL
1-0.

Jodie Taylor.

Argentina's anthem lasts for three days
Taylor was top scorer in the European Championship two years ago - didn't play in the SheBelieves Cup. Argentina's goalkeeper ain't much of a looker-mind you most women look scary with no make-up on

Their goalie may not be a looker but she's made some good saves. She's kept Argentina in the game.

Some terrible passing by England shouldn't be giving Argentina an inch. Not sure what Kirby is doing I'd have played White she was much better and Scott is dicing with a yellow card if she's not careful. We might be one up but still squeaky-bum time!
