USWNT (recently) uses a nominal 4-3-3. BUT! They're usually playing against much weaker teams that give up possession and back down, so functionally the USWNT plays in a 2-3-2-3, like a W-M.
and under the (recently retired coach Jill Ellis, at least) everybody is playing out of position (Rapinoe on the Left, Heath on the Right, Dunn as left fullback, etc.) to get as much attacking options on the field as possible. It worked, not slagging her. But it's hard to emulate unless you've got a vastly dominant team.
