We don’t have a ton of details on the first match from the Ten Nations Tournament for the US but we can report that it was a wild one. According to Women’s Soccer United the Swedes got out to a 3-0 lead after scoring two goals in the first 15+ minutes of the second half. The US then mounted a furious rally scoring five minutes after Sweden’s third and then 11 minutes later to make it 3-2. They tied things up with a goal four minutes from the end and things wound up 3-3. Rebecca Rasmussen, Kayla Cappuzzo, & Imani Dorsey score the goals (though I can’t guarantee they were in that order).

The US was one of six teams to draw their opening match so the standings are pretty clogged with teams at 1 point. Only two teams won on the first day and they just happen to be the two remaining US opponents, Denmark and France. So if the US wins their next two there is no way they won’t finish in a tie for first on points. It’d just be a question of if anyone else can win their final two games and what the goal differentials might end up being.

The USA takes on Norway on Monday morning at 10 AM ET. WeSupportTheUS.com will have a report on that one sometime after it’s ended and I’ve got enough data on what happened.
