With the Womens World Cup less than 20 days away, the United States womens national team defeated Mexico 5-1 in the teams penultimate send-off match.
Their final match before the World Cup is on May 30th against Korea Republic at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.
Kobe Bryant was in attendance at the StubHub Center in Los Angeles as the USWNT improved their stellar record against Mexico, bagging five goals in an absolute drubbing.
The United States came out of the gates firing, and could have scored three or four goals early if not for the stellar play of Cecilia Santiago in goal for Mexico.

Most welcome Oldplayer!
USA is exactly where they want to be for next month’s World Cup.
This was almost like the Johan Cruyff cut move. Nice.

Just learned my 5 and a half year old daughter has a tryout for a local team. :)
Tryouts at five and a half?
Probably to pass a physical fitness?
Maybe it's different in those high-rent neighborhoods with cutthroat competition for the Ivy League-feeder childcare centers. Do you live in one of those?
