Women’s World Cup champion will be a first-time winner
There will be a first-time winner of the Women’s World Cup this year, and maybe, just maybe, it will be host country Australia.
But before the Australia and England showdown, first-time semi-finalist Spain takes on powerhouse Sweden on Tuesday in Auckland. Sweden, meanwhile, is the highest ranked team still in the tournament at third in the world, according to FIFA. The Swedes got into the semi-finals by knocking off previously undefeated Japan, the 2011 winners and last remaining champions in the tournament after so many early eliminations of the best teams in women’s soccer.
Wiegman’s only loss as England manager in 37 matches was a 2-0 loss to Australia in a friendly four months ago. Now in the semi-finals for a third consecutive World Cup, England must beat the home team to advance to its first final. England star Lauren James will miss her second consecutive game because of a suspension for receiving a red card in the round of 16.Sweden’s current team has been labelled the “Golden Generation” of its nation’s history of women’s soccer, but the Swedes have yet to live up to that billing on an international stage.
