  "account": "The U.S. women's national team will clash against Spain in an upcoming friendly match on Tuesday, October 13. This is the second encounter between the world's top two teams. The Spanish side defeated the U.S. squad 2-0 on Saturday, October 10, at Audi Field, with goals from Patri Guijarro and Eva Navarro in the first 15 minutes, and maintaining a clean sheet in the second half. The U.S. roster for the match features an average of 59.3 caps per player. Notably, both Mallory Swanson and Ashley Sanchez returned to the team after a two-year hiatus. Consequently, none of the five uncapped players - Jordan Silkowitz, Trinity Byars, Kate Del Fava, Pietra Tordin, and Evelyn Shores - made their debut. Coach Emma Hayes hinted at potential changes, but emphasized the possibility of limited adjustments. The potential starting lineup for the match against Spain could include goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, defenders Gisele Thompson, Tara Rudd, Tierna Davidson, and Emily Fox, midfielders Lindsey Heaps, Claire Hutton, and Rose Lavelle, and forwards Trinity Rodman, Sophia Wilson, and Mallory Swanson.",
