Here's how things stand in the USWNT's group
From CNN's Tara Subramaniam and Matias Grez
The USWNT leads World Cup Group E on goal difference from the Netherlands after the 2019 finalists played out a 1-1 tie in Wellington.
Both teams have four points but the US is ahead in the group thanks to a goal difference of plus 3, compared to the Dutch's plus 1.
Next up today: It’s Portugal against Vietnam as both teams look to get off the mark in Group E after defeats in their opening games.
Vietnam gave a good account of itself defensively in the defeat to the USWNT, holding the World Cup juggernaut to just three goals in the face of far less flattering pre-match predictions.
Unsurprisingly, Vietnam failed to register a single shot in the one-sided match but will likely get more of a chance to show off its attacking abilities against Portugal.
After only narrowly losing 1-0 to the Netherlands, Portugal will be confident going into Thursday’s match.
Goalkeeper Inês Pereira shone with a couple of smart saves to keep her team in the match and Portugal could have snatched an equalizer inside the final 10 minutes through substitute Telma Encarnação.
