With the dismal (U.S. not qualifying and Germany not advancing) 2018 World Cup far in the past, it's time to look to the Women's World Cup, where the Americans will begin defense of their title June 11 against Thailand in Reims, France. We hope to see them in the final come July 7.
The bookies seem to like the red, white and blue, setting the odds for an American repeat at 2-1. CBS Sports has a story on the odds for all the teams.
Follow all the results at the official FIFA site.
After the opener, the U.S. will face Chile on June 16 in Paris and wrap up group play against Sweden in LeHavre June 20. Assuming U.S. advances out of Group F, they would play in the Round of 16 on June 24.
And finally, Jonathan Tannenwald had a piece in today's Inquirer about Team USA goalie, Alyssa Naeher, a Penn State graduate, Class of '09. Fellow Nittany Lion Ali Krieger, Class of '06, is also on the roster and will be appearing in her third World Cup.
