The lineups are out for the USWNT’s Women’s World Cup send-off game, and they are exactly as expected. Pia Sundhage varies her lineup less than just about any manager you’ll ever see. That fact, combined with the fact that it makes sense to try to build some chemistry with your starting XI ahead of a major competition, makes her team selection an understandable one, though most fans would probably like to see some different players. Here are the lineups for Mexico and the United States.
USA Vs. Mexico, 2011 International Friendly: Lineups
United States lineup: Solo; Buehler, Rampone, LePeilbet, Krieger; Rapinoe, Lloyd, Boxx, O’Reilly; Wambach, Rodriguez
Mexico lineup: Santiago; Robles, Vinti, Saucedo, Garciamendez; Garza, Worbis, Morales, Perez; Mayor, Dominguez
The game kicks off at 2 pm ET from Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, and the game can be seen in the United States on ESPN2. Both teams have qualified for the Women’s World Cup, and Mexico won the most recent meeting between the two teams.
