#USWNT’s Emma Hayes on Spain’s first goal: “We play ourselves into that position,” talks about getting the details right and adds “you can’t afford to go 2-0 down against the best team in the world, especially the way we conceded”

Pretty awesome moments for some young fans as Trinity Rodman, Emma Hayes, and Tara Rudd all spend time with them postgame. Photos taken, autographs given, walks around the field. #USWNT
Game state and bad luck were the story here, as the #USWNT dropped the first of two games against Spain, this one at Audi Field in DC. Score: 0 - 2 Non-penalty xG: 1.5 - 0.4 Non-penalty xG per Shot: 0.13 - 0.07 Quality Chances*: 4 - 0 Touches in the Box: 37 - 14 Field Tilt: 50 - 50 #USAvESP
Sophia Wilson thought she had one back for the #USWNT but it's offside
More back-and-forth than one might've expected, but that makes the second half even more finely poised, as they say. #USWNT | #USAvESP
Halftime: #USWNT 0, Spain 2 Spain scored twice on 0.24 xG. Central errors by the U.S., Spain pounced as everyone knows they can and will. A key difference has also been Spain's ability to hold possession high up the field. U.S. has to start finding feet to keep the ball in the second half.
lol alexia is this how they practice corner kicks at LCL #USWNT #NWSL
📍 Our squad in D.C. #USWNT x Purina
hello from Audi Field, where we’ve been treated to an appearance from both Crystal Dunn *and* Mariska Hargitay (and a beautiful dog) kickoff between the #USWNT and Spain shortly!
Getting closer to kickoff 👀 #USWNT x VolksWagen
Megan Rapinoe is among the dignitaries on the sideline as the #USWNT takes the field for pregame warmups:
#USWNT XI to face Spain. This is how they trained this week in Georgia. We'll see if they add this wrinkle today: Rodman on the left to cut inside.
Justice for my Sanchez jersey #USWNT
For the 41st time in a 49-year lineage, Washington’s Metro welcomes soccer fans heading to see a U.S. national team in the nation’s capital. Today is the 14th #USWNT game in the District. The senior #USMNT has played in the city 26 times, and the men’s Olympic team once in 1996.
#USWNT v Spain, Round 1, in a few hours here on a cloudy fall day in DC. World No. 1 v No. 2. World Cup champs v Olympic champs. The most exciting U.S. domestic friendly in a long time (and there's a rematch in three days). US keys to the match: Pressure, Patience, Possession.
Immediately saw Spirit ads at DCA. Like in KC, where the Current branding hits you starting at the airport. No coincidence that those teams have become part of the fabric of their respective cities. #NWSL
