The U.S. Women’s National Team’s European adventure should test this group. Yes, everyone was happy after winning the Olympic gold medal this summer, but there is still so much to do. Clashes with England and the Netherlands would help in this work. These are two good teams and two big challenges from a young, learning group of up-and-coming US stars.

The first test wasn’t completely passed, but it wasn’t failed either. The USA managed a 0-0 draw at Wembley Stadium and went head-to-head with England in a duel between the top two teams in the world rankings. However, they failed to beat England despite being ahead for most of the game. That’s the big question heading into Tuesday’s friendly against the Netherlands: Can the U.S. find a way to beat them?

Coach Emma Hayes has to get creative. With no “Triple Espresso” – Sophia Smith, Trinity Rodman and Mallory Swanson – available, the US is running a different type of attack that lacks experience. Maybe a young star like Lily Yohannes or Jaedyn Shaw can unlock this USWNT group – and this visit to The Hague seems like a perfect opportunity to find out.

GOAL looks at the key storylines to watch when the USWNT takes on the Netherlands on Tuesday at 2:45 p.m. ET.
