The FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada is off to a terrific start with encouraging attendance and television viewership for Canada and the U.S.—and some wonderful soccer to boot.
The host nation is fully behind its team while the powerful neighbours to the South have the best traveling support. Canada and the U.S. won their openers and aim to be in Vancouver on July 5 to play for the Winner’s Trophy. But there’s a long way to go before talking finals.
With every team having played their opening games, much still remains in the air, but the favored teams have all started with important wins. Germany, U.S., France, and defending champion Japan—the top four teams in the rankings all won.
Good start for Canada, three points in the bag, exactly where we want to be.
