Now one squad is just 90(ish) minutes away from the game’s biggest prize — let’s recap how we got here.

By this time next week, a new champion will have been crowned, but first, two epic semis showdowns.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) quarter-finals are off to a thrilling start, with No. 6 Spain and No. 3 Sweden set to face off in the semifinals after last night’s wins.

The two remaining semifinal spots will be booked before tomorrow’s brunch reservation — here’s your guide to the crucial Saturday morning soccer.

Hope you’re well-rested because the FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) quarter-finals are officially set and every game is appointment viewing.

From the FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) Round of 16 to the baseball diamond, the sports world was full of knockouts this weekend. Rolling with the punches…

ICYMI (lucky you), the two-time defending champion USWNT barely advanced to the knockout stage yesterday, after looking out of sorts in their uninspiring 0–0 draw with No. 21 Portugal.

And just like that, only two WWC group stage games remain.

Once the whistles blow on today’s final Group B games, seven of the tourney’s 16 available knockout tickets will be punched, with No. 3 Sweden, No. 6 Spain, No. 11 Japan, No. 12 Norway, No. 20 Switzerland, and Group B’s top two teams advancing.

It’s been a topsy-turvy opening week at the FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC), leaving many wondering how their favorite squad can make it to the single-elimination, 16-team knockout stage.

With the majority of Group A’s games complete, two curious storylines are popping up: World No. 12 and group-favorite Norway can’t find their footing, while No. 46 Philippines — a first-time WWCer — appear poised to shock the world.
