The U-21 US Women's National Team recently participated in the 2025 Pan American Championship game, where they competed against Argentina.
The No. 2 Argentines secured a 3-0 victory in the match. Their offensive strategy was effective, characterized by powerful shots from outside the circle and precise passing combinations leading to tips or deflections within the circle.
They showed excellent control, avoiding overrunning the ball and executing accurate touches before scoring.
Despite the final score, the No. 6 Junior Eagles delivered commendable performances throughout the tournament.
They maintained a consistent and strong attack, allowing only four goals throughout the entire tournament: one in the semifinal against Uruguay and three against Argentina.
Toward the end of the championship game, they began to mirror Argentina's quick, sharp, snapping passing.
The US squad left South America adorning silver medals.
