Since Vlatko Andonovski's departure, the U.S. women's national team has placed a focus on maintaining some form of continuity while awaiting a permanent coach. But what happens when "continuity" also means "disappointment"?
Under interim coach Twila Kilgore, the USWNT continues to trot out more of the same. The starting XI that took the field against Colombia was entirely made up of players that were in the World Cup squad. Of the substitutes, just one was a new face, despite the U.S. currently boasting a squad full of young stars.
In the end, the familiar faces produced, for 2023, a familiar result: a 0-0 draw and a performance that never clicked. The USWNT continues to tread water and, with the Olympics just around the corner, the clock is ticking faster than ever.
