Live Blog: USWNT vs. Trinidad And Tobago

Friday is Decision Day in CONCACAF. In the 2016 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Canada and the United States are favored to advance to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jill Ellis's USWNT are heavy favorites to avoid an earth-shattering upset against Richard Hood's Women Soca Warriors from Trinidad and Tobago, but selling Trinidad short would be unwise. Nevertheless, the USA has never lost in Olympic qualifying, according to US Soccer: The U.S. WNT remains unbeaten in all-time CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying with a 16-0-1 record and has never lost a match in Olympic qualifying, but it did tie Canada 1-1 in the title game of the 2008 tournament before prevailing in penalty kicks. The WNT has a current streak of eight consecutive games in CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying without allowing a goal, dating back to the previously mentioned final of the 2008 Olympic Qualifying tournament. Carli Lloyd has 11 career goals in Olympic Qualifying, just three short of Abby Wambach’s record of 14, followed by Crystal Dunn and Alex Morgan with six apiece. Morgan’s goal 12 seconds into the match against Costa Rica on Feb. 10 is the earliest in U.S. WNT history (she also has the latest, scoring in the 123rd minute against Canada in the semifinal of the 2012 Olympics), and the quickest in CONCACAF qualifying history, besting Wambach (35 seconds vs. Dominican Republic on Jan. 20, 2012). Lloyd also has the most Olympic qualifying appearances or anyone on the roster, having scored 11 goals in 12 games (2008, 2012 & 2016). Hope Solo has played in 10 Olympic qualifying matches (2008, 2012 & 2016). Kickoff is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. PT/8:30 p.m. ET. The live blog will start at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET and will include coverage of Canada vs. Costa Rica. Keep it right here on The Stoppage Time for more world football news.
