Nearly one million tickets have been sold for the Women’s World Cup before the start of the tournament on Friday, organisers say.
In the biggest and – Fifa, football’s governing body, hopes – the best Women’s World Cup yet, France play South Korea at the Parc des Princes in the first of 52 games.
The host nation hopes to emulate the success of the men’s team in Russia last year and make history by becoming first country to hold both World Cups at the same time. Among the 24 teams taking part, France are narrow favourites to win the tournament, just ahead of the holders, the USA.

To: LakesharkOMG LMAO x 100!!! There have been one or two times that a sick minded weirdo comes flailing at me out of nowhere. Incredibly because of a supreme butt kicking I applied YEARS earlier.

Not likely. But you just keep on posting.
And believing in your own incomprehensible awesomeness.....
I just did a google search after the game ended and found your butt hurt comes from a thread 4 (four) years ago when Tom Brady got caught cheating which led to him being penalized.
You were going ape about it but never could I realize how badly you got burned.
Till now.
Thank you for sharing your incomprehensible unawesomeness(TM) and proving I kick supreme EPIC ass.
Victory at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble meant Vadao’s side maintained their perfect record in World Cup openers and also snapped a run of nine straight defeats in the lead-up to the tournament since a 2-1 win over Japan last July.
People did post in the thread a couple of days ago when I created it and then dropped off because USA has not played. In the past when people thanked me for creating such a tournament thread I told them they are welcome but I primarily do it for myself as a good way to read and learn much information about the teams, players, etc.
So it doesn't matter to me if people are posting or lurking or not. I still get a value from posting so yes I will still keep posting.
When USA plays I will start a new thread and ping my list to it.
In the end, it was the Italian Azzurre, not the Waltzing Matildas, who danced.
As the Australian players walked to their sideline and shook hands with their coaches and the game's referees, visibly stunned after a 2-1 defeat in their opening match of the Women's World Cup on Sunday, the Italian players gathered in front of their fans, where they cheered and shouted and danced the Macarena.
It was Italy's first win -- and first appearance -- at the Women's World Cup in two decades, earned on a Barbara Bonansea header in the 95th minute off a free kick in the final seconds of stoppage time.
