Hayes made a couple interesting moves on Saturday, the most newsworthy of those seeing Trinity Rodman return to the starting XI for the first time since suffering a back injury last fall. Three members of her back line went the full 90, as did goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who gave a woman-of-the-match performance.

We're almost assured to see a different lineup dynamic in those positions, and probably most others. Here's a guess at what a heavily rotated USWNT squad Tuesday night may look like:

Mandy McGlynn (GK) - Emily Sams, Alana Cook, Tierna Davidson - Avery Patterson, Korbin Albert, Lindsey Heaps, Lily Yohannes, Alysa Thompson - Michelle Cooper, Ashley Hatch

Score Prediction

Saturday's contest was closer than the Americans' 2-0 margin of victory suggested. And with a less settled XI likely to begin the match on Tuesday night, Brazil and its unique man-to-man marking approach could be a hard one to solve.

The fatigue from a second game in 72 hours also makes it possible this contest will be a bit more open on both ends. Ultimately the sides settle for a draw with plenty of chances on both ends.
