The United States bounced back from their opening 3-0 defeat to Sweden with an impressive 6-1 victory over New Zealand on Saturday.
In a crazy first half, the American team put the ball in the back of their opponents net six times only to have four goals disallowed.
They took a 1-0 after nine minutes when some clever build-up player involving Carli Lloyd and Lindsey Horan led to Tobin Heath playing through Rose Lavelle to slide the ball past the goalkeeper.
