United States: Seven likely starters were on the 1991 winners of the first Women's
World Cup. This is an attacking team, as always, but with built-in flexibility due to the
versatility of several players. Much pressure is on central defenders Carla Overbeck and Kate
Sobrero to stop counter-attacks as outside backs frequently move forward. Kristine Lilly is
the team leader at midfield. Forwards Tiffeny Milbrett and Cindy Parlow must score to make
opponents pay for likely double-teams of all-time world scoring leader Mia Hamm.
Chances: Excellent to make finals.
