1. Goals needed in final match

After failing to get a win from their first two matches, the USWNT will need to defeat Brazil if they hope to repeat as winners of the SheBelieves Cup.

England and Japan are in control of their own destinies at the top of the table with four points apiece. If there’s a winner from the England-Japan match, they will take the title. A draw from that fixture is the only way the U.S. can still win.

But should a draw happen, the U.S. can still win the competition. To do so, goals will need to come against Brazil. The USWNT are hoping to win the SheBelieves Cup on goal difference. How many they must win by will depend on the score of the England-Japan match, but the minimum they must achieve is a two-goal differential.
