Around the Cup

The Women's World Cup started earlier today when France took on Nigeria. The French expected to win in easy fashion but only came out of the game with 1 goal. That goal still managed to get them the win. Germany battled Canada in the second game. Germany came out with the 2-0 lead. In the 82nd minute Canada got a big goal. They lost, but that goal was huge for the Canadians. The next matchup in that group will be France and Canada. That will be a very exciting match. The Americans will start on Tuesday versus North Korea. These two teams do have a history against each other. They will leave all of it behind when they take the field. The Americans also have to play on July 2 against Colombia and have to finish up on the 6th when they face off with Sweden. This World Cup is finally off and running. The committee did a great job planning this. Over 87,000 were at the stadium today. All eyes will be watching when players from all around the world represent their countries.
