The US women's team were unable to stop Thailand's aggressive attack. The team's defeat of 13-0 was a sign that women's soccer is not supported as much as men's. Thailand has a less well-funded program than the US team. The federations would rather give resources to their male counterparts that support women's footbal.
United States wins the FIFA Women's World Cup's first game
The United States is now the champion of the tournament after they beat Thailand 13-0 to set a record. After beating the Netherlands 2-0 on 7 July, the women's national team now sits in third.

Morgan scores five goals
The USA women's football team beat Thailand to begin their title defense. Morgan scored five goals in the first half, tying the record set by Michelle Akers against Canada four years ago. Thailand only had two shots at goal in the first half. The US held 27% of possession. In the second half, the U.S. outshot Thailand 15-1. The U.S. won, but Thailand did not let this lead slip.

Both scored within the final minutes of the game.
Goalkeeper Sukanya Chor Charoenying
Sukanyachor Charoenying, Thai goalkeeper was at her most when she stood before the net of the United States against Thailand. She kept the score close. After a series of saves, a ball that had whizzed by her was finally tipped in the USA's favor. The score inspired so much enthusiasm in the pro-American crowd that they began singing "Go USA!" The game went on for over an hour.
Carli Lloyd was the one to defend the USWNT victory over Thailand. Carli Lloyd stood up for the United States players, despite some snide remarks from the crowd. Lloyd gave the United States goalkeeper words of encouragement. She also thanked Lloyd for offering her words of encouragement.
In US soccer, pay gap between men & women
The U.S. Women's Soccer Team stunned the world on Sunday with a stunning 2-0 victory over the Netherlands. The women have already won four World Cups while the men are yet to do so. Women have never been paid the same amount as men, despite winning four titles. This is one of many reasons the U.S. Soccer Federation denies women equal pay.
Although the US's recent performance in soccer has highlighted the disparity in pay between men and female players, this has long been a topic of controversy. Senator Kirsten Gilbrand highlighted the US's recent victory over Thailand with 13-0. The US women have scored more goals in World Cup games than the Thai women, which is a record for any country.
