The United States have kicked off their 2023 Women’s World Cup in style, taking a 2-0 lead into halftime of their Group E opener against Vietnam.
While the USA is littered with well-known superstars such as Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, there is new blood making their name for the Stars and Stripes.
Portland Thorns star Sophia Smith has etched her name into USA history, becoming the youngest player to score multiple goals in their World Cup debut.
The 22-year-old has cemented herself as a top player in the NWSL, but has finally brought her array of talents to the big stage for the United States.
Can she help drive the Americans to a third straight world title?
