Fundamentally I do not think this is a viable USWNT 11 against any top ~8 opponent. It requires 10/10, all-time-best execution in possession because you don't have the ability to win the ball back or slow Spain in transition in the spine of the team. National teams do not ever get 10/10 execution.

The American story as it actually has unfolded - a nation slowly, imperfectly realizing its founding ideals - is only divisive to people who are racists. From the archives:

Trump Demands the Smithsonian Deliver Shiny, Happy History
His fascistic insistence that it eliminate “divisive or partisan narratives” reveals what he doesn’t understand about history and about America.

The Trump administration's lawless killing spree at sea continues with a lethal strike on four more supposed "narco-terrorists" in the Caribbean. Very real killing in a make-believe war. Outside of war the general term for premeditated killing is murder.
