That means head coach Jill Ellis can afford\u00a0to rest some key personnel like stars Alex Morgan and Carli Lloyd, who&#8217;s scored in the team&#8217;s first two games.<\/p>\n<p>But\u00a0even if they do make some changes to the starting lineup, the Americans\u2019 second-stringers should still have more than enough attacking talent to take on Colombia\u2019s defense.\u00a0Remember, this was a Colombia team which the USWNT trounced 7-0 and 3-0 in back-to-back friendlies back in April. Morgan did not even feature in either game, while defender Julie Johnston had two goals in their second meeting.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Colombians, their Olympic run will be over unless they can pull off an improbable win. But to do that, they\u2019ll have to do something they have yet to do in these Olympics: score. <em>Las Cafeteras<\/em> have been shut out in their first two matches \u2013 a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of France, and a 1-0 defeat to New Zealand.<\/p>\n<p>They did manage to edge out possession and match the Football Ferns in terms of shots, but they still don\u2019t appear to have the weapons to put a dent in the American defense.<\/p>\n<h3>Defensive Edge \u2013\u00a0USA (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/soccer\/olympic-women\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>-780<\/strong><\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>The USWNT&#8217;s run of otherworldly defending continues. With another clean sheet secured against France \u2013 thanks in large part to the heroics of goalie Hope Solo \u2013 the world champions have now given up just four goals in the 17 games they\u2019ve played in 2016. That\u2019s one goal every 380 or so minutes, which is just unfair.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, what else is there to say? If the French, who seemingly have all the fantastic players one would need to finally crack the American defense, couldn\u2019t accomplish it, then what chance does Colombia have? Not good, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Writer&#8217;s Prediction:<\/strong>\u00a0The USWNT\u00a0completes a perfect group stage by beating\u00a0Colombia. But it takes its foot off the gas a bit and wins 3-0, with the total going <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/soccer\/olympic-women\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>under 3.5<\/strong><\/a> goals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/44\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and get into the Olympic spirit by wagering on some women&#8217;s Olympic soccer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/44\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-114101 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2016-Summer-Olympics-News-Banners-620x110-V1.gif\" alt=\"2016-Summer-Olympics---News-Banners-620x110-V1\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"115139\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,810&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USA vs. Colombia Women&#8217;s Soccer\u00a0Preview Where:\u00a0Amazonia Arena &#8211; Manaus, Brazil When:\u00a0Tuesday, August 9, 6:00 PM ET Line:\u00a0USA -780 vs. Colombia +935, tie +680; total 3.5 &#8211;\u00a0view all women&#8217;s Olympic soccer\u00a0lines<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"115139\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,810&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":115902,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15362,393,263],"tags":[16235,16236,16668,16237,1529,16659,16660,16661,16662,1156,1116,1108,14633,4280,2123],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
