Women's World Cup, Day 3 - USA vs. Australia
It's finally time for the United States Women's National Team to take the pitch at the 2015 Women's World Cup. As one of the competition favorites, the United States will garner a lot of attention as it tries to navigate a difficult group. Group D--this tournament's "group of death"--includes Australia, Sweden and Nigeria. In the latest FIFA rankings, the United States is second (behind Germany), Sweden is fifth, Australia is tenth, and Nigeria is 33rd. Although the US is the favorite to top Group D, there are going to be a couple of difficult games along the way, starting with today's fixture against the Aussies.
