Preview 

Team USA have been gold medallists at each of the last three Olympics and, given their status as World Cup winners and the No. 1 ranked team on the planet, they are strongly fancied to repeat the trick in Brazil.

However, they have not even qualified yet, and head coach Jill Ellis will no doubt be telling her team that Friday's clash with Trinidad and Tobago is currently the only one that matters.

The U.S. team could hardly have had a better build-up to the semi-final; their group stage included a 1-0 win over Mexico and a 5-0 defeat of Costa Rica before the thrashing of Puerto Rico—highlights of which can be seen below:

Crystal Dunn netted five in the final group match, while 17-year-old Mallory Pugh also put in an eye-catching performance that pointed to a healthy future for the USWNT.

Ellis could afford to rest a number of regular starters for the Puerto Rico clash, per NBC Sports' Jeff Kassouf, and the second-string's impressive performance has given her an enviable selection headache ahead of the Trinidad clash:

Given the need for victory, though, Ellis will surely field as strong a team as possible, with the likes of forward Alex Morgan and goalkeeper Hope Solo likely to return to the starting XI.

Trinidad and Tobago also come into the match in buoyant mood having beaten Guyana 5-1 to qualify for the semi-final.

They also beat Guatemala 2-1 in the group stage but were hammered 6-0 by Canada—an indication the USWNT are heavy favorites to advance to the final and claim an Olympic spot.

The last time the two sides met was in a friendly back in December when Christen Press netted a hat-trick in a 6-0 win for the U.S.

Prior to that, Trinidad and Tobago gave a much better account of themselves in a World Cup qualifier in 2014, but they were still downed by an Abby Wambach goal.

Anything other than a U.S. victory on Friday would be a huge upset, but it seems highly unlikely given the quality Ellis' side have shown of late.

Despite notable injuries to Christie Rampone and Megan Rapinoe, along with the absence of Amy Rodriguez and Sydney Leroux because of pregnancy, the USWNT have continued to prove they are the best team in the world.

A place at the Olympics is the aim for the U.S.—and a final spot at the Qualifying Championship against either Canada or Costa Rica. Barring a complete disaster, they should confirm their spot on Friday.
