A preview of the game which could have been the final of the FIFAWWC - defending champions United States versus hosts France via sgevans
PARIS - It is the game which could easily have been the final of the Women’s World Cup — the defending champions and favorites, the United States, against hosts France, seeking their first title.
This World Cup has broken all manner of records for television audiences globally and Friday’s match should continue the trend, with the intervention of U.S. President Donald Trump merely adding to the interest. If France coach Corinne Diacre needs some additional material to fire her players up, then the recent suggestion from American defender Ali Krieger that the U.S.’s reserves could beat any of the teams at the World Cup, would surely feature.
“Obviously, I know my players inside out. I know that we weren’t 100 percent and the objective is to hit that 100 percent for the next game,” Diacre said. There has been much talk of grit and determination from the only non-European team left in the competition, but those qualities alone will not be enough to ensure progress against a French side, capable of clever possession football.
