USA vs Canada lineups & team news
USWNT interim coach Twila Kilgore has some huge decisions to make ahead of Wednesday evening’s match. Kilgore made 6 changes coming off the defeat to Mexico, bringing in Nighswonger, Shaw, Alex Morgan, Korbin Albert, Naomi Girma, and Tierna Davidson into the lineup.
On paper, it would make sense to return the likes of Sophia Smith, Rose Lavelle, and Abby Dahlkemper among others to the lineup against a higher quality opponent. But the most recent XI got the team to the semifinals, and Kilgore could be forgiven for trusting them again.
USA predicted starting lineup (4-3-3) right to left: Naeher (GK) — Fox, Girma, Dahlkemper, Davidson — Horan (C), Coffey, Lavelle — Rodman, Smith, Shaw.
USA bench: TBD
Canada needed extra time to knock off Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, meaning that tired legs could play an impact here. Star forward Jordan Huitema only played 45 minutes in the win, so if fit, she should be ready to go. Adriana Leon was also substituted just moments after scoring the game-winner, to save her legs for the semifinals.
Canada predicted starting lineup (3-4-3) right to left: Sheridan (GK) — Zadorsky, Gilles, Buchanan — Lawrence, Quinn, Fleming (C), Carle — Leon, Huitema, Lacasse
Canada bench: TBD
