They also seek to reach the semis for the first time since 2008 when they finished as runners-up at the inaugural edition in New Zealand., the Flamingos recorded back-to-back victories over New Zealand and Chile.
With overlapping fullbacks like Gisele Thompson and Savannah King, the Americans will try to threaten the Nigerian back line with their extensive wing play.
