The team has only lost once in their last 38 match, a drubbing from France in Le Havre in January. With six straight wins going into its World Cup campaign, the team <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/betting-opportunity\/fifa-womens-world-cup-2019-preview\">who are our favourites<\/a> was poised to go hard against Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>Thailand, ranked No. 34 in the world was severely outmatched despite showing great progress and growth on the world stage. Thailand played their first world cup in 2015 and bowed out third in its group. The Thais played reasonably well for their first World Cup edition and secured a 3-2 victory over Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. team pounced on Thailand as early as the 13th minute with a header from Morgan, their upper-hand beginning to snowball along with their momentum, culminating in the one-sided victory.<\/p>\n<p>Only four teams have won a World Cup since the tournament was established in 1991, they are the United States, Germany, Japan, and Norway.
