England

<p>The United States have dominated the global game in recent times, and have very much been the team to beat when it comes to action in the Americas. They did, however, suffer a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/watch-millimetres-var-penalty-drama-uswnt-out-world-cup-megan-rapinoe-sophia-smith-kelley-o-hara-shootout/blt30e2f2eb2f07c6c5" target="_blank">humbling last-16 exit at the 2023 Women’s World Cup</a> as their defence of that title ended with a whimper.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A new era has been ushered in, with an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/made-it-known-uswnt-captain-lindsey-horan-reveals-message-exciting-young-stars-elite-challenge-set/blt400f7efde75d876b" target="_blank">exciting crop of young talent being given an opportunity to impress</a>, but the USWNT and their class of 2024 remain a work in progress. That point was highlighted when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usnwnt-player-ratings-mexico/blt75a7f17ca8e413be" target="_blank">going down 2-0 to neighbours Mexico in a Gold Cup group stage encounter</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Said setback is the first that the U.S. have suffered against CONCACAF rivals since coming unstuck in a meeting with Canada back on November 11, 2000. That 23-year run, which included 78 wins and two draws, is now over.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2000 - Mexico is the first Concacaf team to defeat the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/USWNT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#USWNT</a> on American soil since Canada on November 11, 2000.

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The USWNT have advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2024 W Gold Cup, which will take place on March 2 and 3, but are aware of the need to re-establish consistency with SheBelieves Cup action still to come this year alongside a bid for gold medal glory at the Olympic Games in Paris.</p>
