• Group standings A look back on Tuesday in France: United States 13 | Thailand 0 The United States scored a record-setting 13 goals and shut out Thailand in their opening game of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup at Stade Auguste-Delaune in Reims. Orlando Pride forward Alex Morgan scored five goals, tying the record for goals in a Women’s World Cup game set by Michelle Akers in 1991. Morgan opened the scoring with a header goal in the 12th minute, and then added goals in the 53rd, 74th, 81st and 87th minutes. “We really just came into this game, really wanted to showcase ourselves and what we’ve been preparing for and what we’ve been working on. I think we did that,” Morgan told FOX Sports’ Alex Curry after the game. “Every goal matters in this tournament. That’s what we were working on this game. We got a lot of attacks and I think that we were really clinical in the number of attacks that we did get.” [Empty Body] The United States also got braces from North Carolina Courage midfielder Sam Mewis and Washington Spirit midfielder Rose Lavelle. Portland Thorns FC midfielder Lindsey Horan, Reign FC forward Megan Rapinoe, Spirit forward Mallory Pugh and Sky Blue FC midfielder Carli Lloyd rounded out the scoring.
