The United States could not have wished for an easier start to their title defence in the writing was on the wall for thailand from the moment alex morgan headed in the opening goal after 12 minutes. This rout included two goals each from the veil and lewis but morgan surpassed them both. Morgan scored her fourth of the game sending the americans into double figures in the process. After the reigning champions equalled the world cup record of ii champions equalled the world cup record of 11 goals in one match, morgan made sure they broke it as she scored her fifth of the game. The substitute completed the scoring in stoppage time with 13 overall. Unlucky for some.

Earlier in the day, the netherlands began their campaign with a victory but they also left it late to defeat new zealand. Gill scored the only goal of the game in stoppage time to give the reigning european champions a start in group e. Well the big story of the day at the womens world cup is the usas record breaking13 0 thrashing of thailand. Our reporter in france, sarah mulkerrins, says people may now question fifas decision back in 2015 to expand the tournament to 2a teams. I think the big question being asked about this record making result for the usa tonight is how good or how bad a result like this, a comprehensive win for the usa like this is for the game. I think you would have to say that you go about four years when fifa introduced new teams to the tournament and expanded the number of teams to 2a, they did that in order to offer incentives to federations around the world to invest money in the womens game and to support the fledgling teams and leagues in the different nations. So at this stage with the womens game being so disparate around the world in terms of the haves and have not you are going to get match ups like this which does expose that golf. Thailand with 33 places below the usa, arguably the most dominant team in the most invested in team in womens football. I think the hope is that down the line in future tournaments to come that this little bit of pain now will start to ease as the game grows in areas and the gap will start to meet closer in the middle.
