American Outlaws should not be chanting "I believe that we will win" during the USWNT's games. That's a good chant for the 15th-best team in the world, but garbage for this team. How about "I believe we'll kick your ass" instead? Or "I believe your team is crap"? This team doesn't need people to believe in them, they need to know they're going to finish their group on nine points.

Costa Rica face tough odds in maiden tournament
the first Central American team to qualify for a Women's World Cup

Mexico vs. Colombia
Mexico makes back-to-back World Cup appearances but is still looking to get past the group stage for the first time. Mexico is a team that relies on ball control and possession, spending a lot of time playing keep away from its opponent.
Colombia has also made back-to-back World Cups and looks for its first appearance past the group stage. Colombia relies on a tough and physical defense, while the offensive side of the ball is pure speed.

South Korea vs. Brazil
South Korea makes its first World Cup since 2003 and hopes to get out of the group stage for the first time. South Korea is a ball possession team that moves up and down the field beautifully and produces quality shots.
Brazil has yet to miss a World Cup appearance and looks to return to the finals for the first time since 2007. Look most Brazil teams, you’re dealing with a ton of talent and players who can takeover when needed. Nobody in this tournament is better than Marta, who is a five-time FIFA World Player of the Year and capable of winning games by herself.

It was almost predictable, though a few years later, France remains a shade better than England and defeat them in the woman’s game.


It appears there are no matches, today, Wednesday though soccerway is on European hours. http://us.soccerway.com/international/world/womens-world-cup/2015-canada/group-stage/r20925/

Thursday:

Germany Norway, good match, Norway did win a Woman’s world cup, one of the first ones.

China Netherlands

Ivory Coast Thailand

Canada New Zealand
