However, Trinity Rodman was not in the starting 11.
Fans who wanted to see the popular forward on the pitch were quickly disappointed.
However, there is also good news.
Why is Trinity Rodman not playing today?
Rodman was not in the starting lineup as Emma Hayes chose a different group to take pitches.
Photos on USWNT social media showed the superstar during warmups, so she appears to be available to play.
There is no known reason for Rodman not starting, but there is one guess: the next game.
The United States plays Canada on Wednesday. Seems like a game you’d really like to have Rodman in the starting lineup.
So maybe she sees the late cameo as a way to prepare for a showdown with key rivals in a matter of days.
