The USA looked like they were going to repeat their historic feast of five days ago when they beat Thailand 13-0.

The Defending World Cup champions however did beat Chile 3-0, in their Group F match played at the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris, France.

USA’s spirit was high after they embarrassed Thailand 13-0 last week. It was a clear message to all the teams in Group F that they are here to stamp their authority.  World Cup rookies Chile, are yet to score point at the tournament but against USA, they were up against the number one team in the FIFA World rankings.

It was not surprising when USA led 1-0 in just eleven minutes into the match. It was Carli Loyd’s 112th international goal as USA have never lost a match after scoring first and that spelt trouble for Chile.

Following a brilliant corner kick and a sublime header by Julie Ertz, USA added their goal tally to 2-0. From there on it was one way traffic as the United States scored the third goal as Chile’s defence cracked under pressure.
