Christopher SimpsonOct 20, 2015

A mouthwatering friendly pits women's soccer world champions USA against the might of Brazil on Wednesday in the first of a double-header with the Selecao.

For the U.S., the matches come as part of their victory tour after winning the World Cup earlier in the year.

Meanwhile, the Brazilians are on something of a victory tour themselves after claiming the gold medal in the 2015 Pan American Games.

Preview

It's been an incredible year for the USWNT, who have lost just once in 2015—all the way back in February.

After winning their 10th Algarve Cup title in March, the Yanks then went on to lift the biggest prize in football, turning on the style as they beat Japan 5-2 in the World Cup final.

Since then, the U.S. have faced Costa Rica and Haiti twice apiece, racking up an astounding 28 goals in the process and conceding just two.

World Cup final hat-trick hero Carli Lloyd has continued her fine form in front of goal, scoring eight in her last three matches, while Heather O'Reilly has also got in on the action with five in four.

Notably, the first friendly with Brazil will mark 38-year-old veteran Shannon Boxx's last match, while the second friendly will see Lauren Holiday and Lori Chalupny hang up their boots for the American national side.

Per the team's official website, head coach Jill Ellis said, "It’s important that we honor these players and celebrate their amazing careers. All three have played a major role in the writing of this team’s history and have been a part of some of our greatest successes. They will be missed as people and players."

By contrast, Brazil were something of a disappointment in Canada, as they crashed out in the round of 16 to Australia.

The Selecao have since enjoyed a strong summer, though, as they won every game in the 2015 Pan American Games, thrashing Colombia 4-0 in the final.

Cristiane has been in exceptional form, as she finished as the tournament's top scorer with seven goals.

Brazil will be up against it, though, as they take on the USA. The Americans' confidence will be utterly sky high, and they also have history on their side, having lost just three times to Brazil in 32 encounters.

Expect two entertaining matches in which the United States should have the edge thanks to their physicality and defensive solidity, along with an emotional farewell to their retiring stars.
