"I can only say that the US team must prepare well for the opening day. Remember, the Vietnamese women's team did not play badly when they only lost 1-2 to the German women's team. That comes from their good preparation against a stronger opponent," said US coach Vlatko Andonovski about the match against the Vietnamese women's team tomorrow.
The match between the US and Vietnam teams will take place at 8:00 a.m. on July 22 at Eden Park Stadium (Auckland, New Zealand) as the opening match of Group E of the 2023 Women's World Cup. The US team is the reigning Women's World Cup champion, ranked No. 1 on the FIFA rankings. However, they still have respect for the Vietnamese women's team.

"Many people may have hastily concluded that the US team will win big, but the match is still ahead. In football, nothing is impossible. The US team absolutely cannot be subjective. We should only talk about the match results when the 90 minutes of the competition end, instead of making premature assessments at this time.
Even if we lose to the Vietnamese women's team, the US team still has two more matches in the group stage. Of course, we have to try hard to win and qualify for the next round. At that time, the US team will be the champion like Argentina won the 2022 World Cup," coach Vlatko Andonovski added.
Since taking charge of the US team, coach Vlatko Andonovski has made many changes to the squad. The defending champions only have 9 players who played in the tournament 4 years ago. However, the strength of the US team has not decreased significantly because their young players are all of very good quality.
“To achieve our goals, we have to focus on each game. Only by winning one game after another can the US team win the World Cup for the third consecutive time,” said coach Vlatko Andonovski.
