In the past few months, United States soccer player Ebot has become one of the most unpopular female athletes in the United States after the injury surrounding Corbyn · Abbott's career. However, after Albert's goal in their last game against Australia, there seems to be room for redemption. United States head coach Emma · Hayes said of Albert after the game that we all know what she went through and Albert is really sorry for what she has done. Hayes continued: "She had to go through a lot of growth. "In United States, women's soccer form has reached a new level, and Albert's goals and redemption chances could make the team stronger.
Japan's biggest success came at the 2012 London Olympics, when they lost 2-1 to United States in the final.

Match 2: Westero vs Solna
Match analysis: Westero returned to Sweden's top flight last season for the first time since 1997. However, Westero are the worst team in the league this season and are currently six points away from safety. Westero has struggled to score goals throughout the season, scoring just six goals in eight games at home, the worst record in the league.
And Solna has no immediate relegation worries. However, their recent record has been poor and they have lost four of their last five league games. The poor performance saw them just three points above the relegation zone. In addition, Solna has the worst away defensive record in the league, conceding 23 goals in eight games on the road.
Due to a slump in form, Solna opted to part ways with manager Henning · Borg directly after the international break, with Mikel · Tomasson taking over as head coach on 17 July, and the new head coach has now lost his first two games at the helm and will be desperate to change that in this game.
However, it is not an easy task for Tomasson to achieve results here.
Given the recent performances of both teams, it will be a dull encounter.
