When heavyweights collide, the impact is always colossal.

First, there's the anticipation, and for feverish excitement, no match at this Women's World Cup has yet to compare to Friday's quarterfinal clash between the US and France.

There is a reason why ticket prices have gone in the same direction as the mercury during this week's European heat wave.

This is the world's top-ranked team going head-to-head against the fourth best team in the world. The defending champion versus the host. An irresistible attack against an uncompromising defense.

Coming up next on FOX. The Battle Of The Ages.

It's not even a one-tenth of a UEFA Champions League Final.

Defy? LoL!

The USWNT played a scrimmage in front of the U15 Team’s parents, families and coaches.
No press coverage. No official record keeping. A scrimmage.

Show me the teams you mention taking the time doing the same.

Watching in a sports bar in Paris. We are outnumbered 200-4 and are the only sober people here, so trying to be inconspicuous. Interesting experience. We need three goals tonight. Go USA.

Walked by Notre Dame just before game time. French military with submachineguns at the ready much in evidence. Have they always done this or did this start after the authorities °ruled out° arson?

I was in Paris a few years ago, even then there were military with submachine guns at all of the main tourist sites.

ESPN was also reporting on Wednesday that a third U.S. player, Alex Morgan, will boycott the White House if there is a visit.
