The U.S. women's national team isn't done milking their achievement. Yet another international friendly will be scheduled, per Jonathan Tannenwald.
Multiple sources have reported a match will take place in Honolulu on Dec. 6. Coupled with the remaining fixtures to played against Brazil, it will be the USWNT's seventh friendly since lifting the 2015 Women's World Cup in Vancouver.

If U.S. soccer plans to subject the American public to yet another women's national team experience, at least do it the right way. Make it competitive. Give the fans what they want.
Invite Japan.
The 2011 World Cup winners suffered a 5-2 loss in early July, Carli Lloyd's half-pitch screamer still haunting their dreams.
What better than a rematch to put an exclamation point on a historic year?
Add to that the political connotations -- the eve of Dec. 7 in Hawaii -- and it's a broadcasting dream.
Otherwise, why bother?
There's no need to watch Alex Morgan bully teenage girls on the pitch for 90 minutes.
I usually love watching the USWNT, but good lord was that a boring game. Felt really bad for those poor Haitian women, too.

So tired of the USWNT acting like it faces fair competition and the media playing along. 98 wins in a row at home? Boring.

Update: The USWNT are only interested in bullying teenage girls on the pitch for 90 minutes.
