The US Women's Football Team breaks records for most goals in a single World Cup game

The Women's National Women's Football Team has scored the most goals in its history in a single World Cup game, whether it's male or female, beating Thailand 13-0 on Tuesday. his first match of the 2019 tournament.

The Americans, the tournament's No. 1 team and defending champion, broke the previous record set in 1954, when Austria beat Switzerland 7 to 5 in the men's World Cup quarter-finals for a combined total of 12 goals.

Striker Alex Morgan also tied the record of former American player Michelle Akers in 1991 for the most goals scored by a player in a Women's World Cup match with five goals .

The USWNT is the favorite to win the eighth edition of the international women's competition. But after the French team's 4-0 match against South Korea in the opening match of the tournament, analysts wondered if Americans could make a similar statement – and the only way to do that was to make it clear. they never did.

After the referees canceled Morgan's goal 1 in the fifth minute, the striker scored the goal on 12th with defender Kelley O 'Hara's center.

Midfielder Rose Lavelle and Lindsey Horan then scored one goal each in the 20th and 32nd minutes, leading the United States to a 3-0 lead at half-time.

In the second half, midfielder Sam Mewis and striker Megan Rapinoe joined the group, scoring two goals and one goal, respectively. Lavelle also scored his second goal in the 56th minute, while Morgan added four more.

At different times of half-time, we had the impression that the United States scored every two minutes.

And honestly difficult to follow.

Looking elsewhere for a few minutes probably meant that the viewers had missed a few goals, so here they are in all their splendor.

The United States will play their next match against Chile in Paris on Sunday. They conclude the group stage with a match of 20 June against Sweden, ranked 9th in Le Havre.

The US women's team has dominated the game for decades, winning three World Cups, four gold medals at the Olympics and being ranked No. 1 by FIFA for 10 of the last 11 years. And yet, as they race to win a fourth historic World Cup, women are still fighting for equal pay at home.

In March, barely three months before the start of the World Cup, players sued the US Soccer Federation for discrimination, reinforcing their longstanding quarrel over pay equity and working conditions. Even though they play more and have won more championships, the Americans continue to receive lower pay than their male counterparts, who did not even qualify for the Men's World Cup last year.

Tuesday's demonstration of women's dominance was a reminder of the ongoing struggle.
