A younger U.S. Women’s National Team with several new faces kicks off its 2022 schedule when it takes on the Czech Republic in its first game of the 2022 SheBelieves Cup on Thursday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. With the United States earning a disappointing bronze medal in last year’s Tokyo Olympics, coach Vlakto Andonovski is using the SheBelieves Cup to get a look at younger players. As a result, the USWNT will not feature familiar icons Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Tobin Heath and Christen Press, among others. The Americans also will be without Carli Lloyd, who retired last year. Still, the USWNT enters Thursday’s game as an overwhelming favorite.
Kickoff is set for 11 p.m. ET. The USWNT is an enormous -1800 favorite in the latest USA vs. Czech Republic odds, while the Czechs are a +4400 underdog. A draw is +1200.

USA vs. Czech Republic preview
The major storyline for the USWNT entering the SheBelieves Cup is the new look roster. Ten players have fewer than 10 caps, and nine players are under the age of 25. Just three players – Rose Lavelle (18 goals), Mallory Pugh (18) and Lynn Williams (14) are the only players with 10 or more international goals.
No team has had more success in the SheBelieves Cup than the United States. Since the inaugural tournament in 2016, the USWNT has won four of the six Cups, including the last two. Last year the Americans earned wins over Canada (1-0), Brazil (2-0) and Argentina (6-0) and became the first team in Cup history to not allow a single goal at the competition.
Meanwhile the Czech Republic will be making its first appearance in the tournament. Ranked No. 24 in the world, the Czechs also have a young roster. Of the 23 players, 21 are in their 20s, including eight who are 21 or younger. The team enters the Cup on a difficult slide; it has won only one match in its last eight International fixtures.
The SheBelieves Cup features a four-team, round-robin format. Each of the four teams – Iceland and New Zealand are the other two teams participating – will play the other three teams once. The winner will be determined by total points.
