PARIS (Reuters) - The United States' squad is more motivated than ever, coach Jill Ellis said on Sunday after making seven changes in the 3-0 win against Chile in the women's World Cup to give her fringe players an opportunity to get rid of any tournament nerves.

The defending champions thrashed Thailand 13-0 in their opening Group F match, but with the demanding schedule in mind, Ellis opted to drop key players like Alex Morgan, who had fired five goals in that game, to boost the team's overall morale.

Among the changes veteran Carli Lloyd came in for Morgan leading from the front and scoring twice, but there was also a start for 20-year-old left-back Tierna Davidson, who provided two assists at the Parc des Princes.
