Game
Another boring and unattractive practice match by the USA against a team that had everything stacked against it, including the heat.

The Iceland coach's smart thinking controlled the first half with the correct style of play considering the strength of the opposition, but his players ran themselves into the ground by the second half after a valiant effort considering the heat.

Ragged play by the U.S. with many chances flubbed, resulted in another match destined to downgrade the attraction of the women’s game.
