USWNT vs. Sweden: How to watch Team USA's next game in the Women’s World Cup 2023
U.S. soccer fans, the US Women's National Team (USWNT) is back for the Round of 16 in the 2023 Women's World Cup. After scraping by in the Group Stage with a 0–0 tie against Portugal, the USWNT is still favored to win when they face off against Sweden this Sunday in the knockout stage. The USWNT took home the past two World Cup trophies (2019 and 2015) and remain the second-favorite to win the entire World Cup according to most bookmakers — despite the team's problems in the tournament so far.
