Women's World Cup 2019: 'USA will remember us' -Thailand plan to create shock in World Cup opener
Thailand say they are planning a game the United States won't forget when they face the defending champions in their 2019 Women's World Cup opener.
''We are going to do our best to make the USA, the champions from four years ago, remember us. We are going to do our best to show ourselves to the world," said head coach Nuengrutai Srathongvian, indicating a hunger to create a big shock.
Thailand, ranked 34 in the world, will play defending champions USA on Tuesday.
Their coach Nuengrutai Srathongvian first managed the national team from 2014-2015 before returning to replace former English Premier League defender Spencer Prior, who stepped down after claiming silver at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games.
