What They're Saying
USA striker Abby Wambach (via ESPN): ""I think that's the best part about our forward group, that everyone is so different and Jill [Ellis] and our coaching staff has the ability to look at the bench and look at the five forwards, look at the defensive unit of our opponent and go, 'Who's going to be best together at the same time against this team?' So they have a lot options."
USA head coach Jill Ellis (via Fox Sports): Hope [Solo's] been fantastic and we've moved on, so none of [the report] has resonated with us. I'm sure many of the other players aren't aware of it. I know our team and we have each other's backs. I think it was something a long time ago and we've put it to bed. Our focus is tomorrow evening [Monday]. Honestly, I didn't discuss [the report] with her for one second."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: This will serve as Wambach's final opportunity to return a World Cup back home to the United States. The 2012 Women's World Player of the Year has over 180 goals in nearly 250 appearances for her country.
USA's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Solo; Klingenberg, Johnston, Sauerbrunn, Krieger; Rapinoe, Holiday, Lloyd; Morgan, Leroux, Press
