The USWNT kicked off their qualifying campaign with a 5-0 win against Haiti two days ago while Guatemala put in a disappointing performance in a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica. In order to keep their qualification hopes alive, Guatemala will have to pull off a massive upset tonight against a United States team that has never lost in World Cup qualification. This is the first ever meeting between the two nations in women’s soccer.
