Sophie Lawson believes USA's key match could be against the Netherlands and expands on the potential of Group E in the 2023 Women's World Cup.
England, whose group is based in Australia, must wait to find out who they open against on the same day, taking on the playoff winners in Group D at Lang Park, Brisbane. Coach Sarina Wiegman then leads her team against Denmark on July 28 and China on Aug. 1.
England beat United States 2-1 when the two teams met at Wembley Stadium earlier this month; they will be unable to come up against each other in the knockout rounds of the World Cup before the final.
The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is being held across nine cities in Australia and New Zealand between July 20 and Aug. 20, with the final being held in the 83,500-capacity Stadium Australia in Sydney.
