The U.S. women's national team will go to the 2023 FIFA World Cup with momentum on their side.
Though the score line didn't indicate it, Rodman's goals capped off a dominant display for the U.S. even though the sharpness and energy levels weren't always high.
The USWNT recorded 22 shots that saw seven hit the target, whereas Wales only mustered two. None hit the target. The U.S. also controlled possession 72% of the time to Wales' 28%. Wales also completed a lackluster 49% of its 220 attempted passes, so the USWNT's defensive performance should be lauded as they allowed very little danger to occur on their end.
The U.S. will next open group play at the World Cup against Vietnam on Friday, July 21. Kick-off time is slated for 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. PT.
