Living in this post-Harvey apocalypse makes you wonder. What does the recent draw against an

United States women's national team coach Pia Sundhage won an international title in her first
year at the helm, guiding the USWNT to a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She's banking on
that success carrying over to this summer's FIFA World Cup in Germany.
Twelve of the 21 players selected to represent the United States this summer have never
participated in a World Cup before, but 14 were part of the 2008 world-championship team, and that
experience will be counted on as the No.
