Uneven USA beat Mexico 3-0 in Women’s World Cup send-off
- Americans play final warm-up before flying out to Europe
- Heath, Pugh and Press on scoresheet for USWNT
Tobin Heath was gifted a goal by a goalkeeper error early in the first half, Mallory Pugh and Christen Press scored late in the second and the United States beat Mexico 3-0 on Sunday in a World Cup send-off match that for much of the afternoon showed more negatives than positives for the Americans.
Seeking their second straight World Cup title and fourth overall, the top-ranked US have seven wins and two draws since a January defeat to France that ended a 28-game unbeaten streak. The Americans leave on Monday for London, where they will be based at Tottenham’s training ground before heading to France. They open against Thailand on 11 June, then play Chile and Sweden.
