Team USA has won 2 World Cups – their first trip in 1991, then again in 1999 – and are looking to end the drought in the month-long tournament hosted by Canada.
In 2015, the Americans are once again the favorites and their title quest begins Monday when Group D play opens.
The Americans and Australians get things underway at 7:30 p.m. Eastern. The match will be televised by FOX Sports 1.
