Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3007203, member: 7548"] Another crack at a strong team Today, 2:30 PM USA vs Spain ESPN2. "It doesn't get much easier for the U.S. when it travels to play Spain in Alicante on Tuesday. The France game was always the centerpiece of the trip, the reason to start the year abroad. But the second game is far more than an afterthought. It's the first meeting between the two teams, and it comes with Spain making a rapid ascent in the women's game. Dominant at the youth level, winning last year's U-17 World Cup and finishing second in the U-20 World Cup, the senior team breezed through World Cup qualifying without a blemish. Bouncing back from Saturday with a blowout against a nobody wouldn't show much. How the U.S. responds against a team looking to prove itself a World Cup contender will be telling." Hope we have a better showing [/QUOTE]
