USWNT roster review and tactical preview ahead of the 2022 Concacaf W Championship
On today's episode, we (but specifically Joe) take a long look at the US women's national team ahead of the start of the 2022 Concacaf W Championship, which could see the United States qualify for both the 2023 World Cup and the 2024 Olympics. How have head coach Vlatko Andonovski's tactics evolved from the 2020 Olympics, which major names will miss this tournament, and which youngsters are poised to break out this summer? We also break down the 23-player roster, position by position, and try to determine the most likely starting eleven (and how that eleven will handle the numerous defensive blocks we can expect in the group stage).Sponsors!
