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.

ALLENDALE, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – The Women’s World Cup began Friday.
The overwhelming favorite to win is the same team that celebrated four years ago: Team USA.
The tournament is expected to attract 1 billion viewers worldwide, and the biggest audience might be high schoolers.
Senior prom is Friday night at Northern Highlands High School, but the talk in the halls is about the Women’s World Cup, CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reported.
“Will you guys be huddled around the TV, watching?” Overmyer asked.
“Oh my gosh, definitely we will be. I’m sure we’ll have all U.S. gear on! American flags everywhere, cheering for them,” said Northern Highlands senior Olivia Holman.
Soccer is for those that have nothing better to do. Apparently, the world is a boring place.
Speaking of nothing better to do, you posted here three times about it.
At least we have that in common.
Trolling is not the same as supporting the USWNT.
I just think soccer is a boring sport. No biggie. I love golf. You may think that’s a boring sport.
I wouldn’t get upset at anyone for expressing that opinion.
Still nothing better to do?
You are five posts in now telling me soccer is boring.
I am not angry.
I am very happily watching the WC on my 65inch 4K HDTV while spending 15 seconds at a time on my iPad Pro playing a troll - to keep showing he has nothing better to do.
;) I’m happy for you. Knock yourself out.
Tell me about it.
You obviously have the time.
Tick,,,Tock...
It’s not likely you are going out and kissing a willing young lady.
You’re reduced to hurling personal insults.
Poor Troll.
I hit a nerve..
Look, we’re fellow Freepers and have more important fish to fry.
I don’t want to be negative toward a fellow Freeper.
Enjoy the soccer game. :)
Thank you.
Go do something exciting.
