The knockout round of the Women’s World Cup has arrived. After two weeks of group phase matches, the last 16 has been decided. All of the top nations made it through which has set up a couple tough looking matches. So let’s breakdown a couple of these matches and look how these teams progressed through to this stage of the tournament.
Canada
Canada made it through to the knockout phase after finishing second in Group E, after winning 2 matches and losing to the Netherlands.
It’s been a few days since I last posted about the Women’s World Cup, and with the end of the second round of games I thought now would be a good time as any to put together a summary of where each group is at, looking ahead to the final round of games. So let’s get right in to it.
Group A
This group has so far been all about the host nation, who with one game to go have already qualified for the knockout rounds.
