WWC23 Round of 16: USWNT vs Sweden, August 6, 5:00 AM ET

The USWNT squares off against its perennial major tournament rival after coming within inches of having its Threepeat bid end in the group stage. Rose Lavelle will have to sit this one out due to yellow card accumulation.

If the team does not make substantial improvements from its group stage play we're bound for a replay of the 2016 Olympics Quarterfinal - at best.

Many doubt that such improvements are even possible, but I remain hopeful....
