The women’s World Cup is underway in Australia and New Zealand, and play continues with a Group B match between Canada and Nigeria in Melbourne that kicks off at 10:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Canadians are a contender to play deep into the tournament: They won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, beating the United States in the semifinals along the way. Nigeria is an 11-time Africa Cup of Nations winner and has qualified for every women’s World Cup but advanced beyond the group stage just twice.
