The U.S. Women's National Team begins its quest to win a fifth SheBelieves Cup when it opens the four-team tournament with a match against the Czech Republic on Thursday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif. Since the SheBelieves Cup began in 2016, the United States has won four of the six Cups, including the last two.

Despite the new faces, the Americans remain a heavy favorite in the 2022 SheBelieves Cup.
Kickoff against the Czech Republic is set for 11 p.m. ET. The USWNT is a -1800 favorite in the latest USA vs. Czech Republic odds, while the Czechs are a +4400 underdog. A draw is +1200.

USA vs. Czech Republic preview
As the USWNT begins its 2022 schedule, the American players who are not at the SheBelieves Cup are as big a storyline as the players who are. Among those veteran stars who are not playing include Megan Rapinoe, who won the Golden Ball as the best player of the 2019 World Cup but is now 36-years-old and in the twilight of her career. Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz and Tobin Heath also are not on the roster.
One fresh face who will suit up for the United States is Washington Spirit forward Trinity Rodman. The 19-year-old daughter of former NBA great Dennis Rodman, the younger Rodman led the NWSL in assists last season en route to earning rookie of the year honors and helping the Spirit win their first championship. She recently signed a four-year, $1.1 million contract that makes her the highest-paid player in the league.
Meanwhile the Czech Republic will be making its first appearance in the tournament. Ranked No. 24 in the world, the Czechs also have a young roster. Of the 23 players, 21 are in their 20s, including eight who are 21 or younger. The team enters the Cup on a difficult slide; it has won only one match in its last eight International fixtures.
The SheBelieves Cup features a four-team, round-robin format. Each of the four teams – Iceland and New Zealand are the other two teams participating – will play the other three teams once. The winner will be determined by total points.
