USA vs. Russia Women's Soccer: Date, Time, Live Stream for Sunday Friendly

The United States are seeking back-to-back friendly wins over Russia when they play host to head coach Elena Fomina's side again on Sunday, having already beaten the Europeans 4-0 on Friday.

Crystal Dunn and Allie Long each scored braces to seal a comprehensive win over Russia at the Toyota Stadium in Texas, but the wounded party will be looking to restore some dignity for the rematch in Houston this weekend.

United States head coach Jill Ellis will have undoubtedly been pleased to see her outfit bounce back from successive defeats to England and France at the She Believes Cup in March, while Russia have now lost their last four games in a row.

Russia have every reason to seek redemption, too, as they continue their preparation for this summer's UEFA Women's Championship in July, putting the Stars and Stripes on alert in terms of the competition they can expect.

United States Out for Russian Repeat

Having suffered just one defeat over the course of 2016, Ellis' United States team had plenty to expect of what 2017 might yield, but back-to-back losses at the She Believes Cup last month gave the team a startling pull back to reality.

A run of seven wins in succession was brought to an end in almighty style as the US women's national team failed to score once against England or France before restoring some confidence against Russia on Friday.

In a display of what the Americans can produce at their flying best, Dunn and Long's braces topped off a clean victory for the United States, who dispatched the Russians without much sign of a fightback:

It helped the hosts' case that star Russian midfielder Elena Morozova was taken off with injury after just 16 minutes, and it's unclear as of yet as to whether she'll play any part in the repeat at BBVA Compass Stadium.

Due to the friendly circumstance of the fixture, Ellis could opt to rest some key faces in what's a much more important outing for Russia, but even the United States' backup players should be looking to impress against a side ranked 25th in the world.

Rose Lavelle Leading Shooting Starlets

Two years remain until the United States will be in the late stages of their preparation for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France, and blooding new youth comes part and parcel of boosting their tournament chances.

With that in mind, it was encouraging for Stars and Stripes fans to see Boston Breakers starlet Rose Lavelle, 21, leading the charge against Russia on Friday with some impressive darting runs forward:

Lavelle wasn't the only youngster handed her chance in Frisco, either, as Mallory Pugh, 18, also started against the Russians, although John D. Halloran of American Soccer Now pointed out she wasn't as reliable:

Aside from that duo, Ellis also has 16-year-old forward Sophia Smith among her ranks, while 17-year-old midfielder Jaelin Howell—also of Real Colorado—is seeking her first cap for the senior side.

Some of those prospects may make an appearance against Russia this Sunday if the result looks certain, and any one of those involved could be eyeing a World Cup spot in the very near future if their progress maintains current trajectory.
