2023 Women’s World Cup draw: How the USWNT and Canada fared

New York Times  

With the draw for the 2023 Women’s World Cup completed, all eight groups are set, and both the USWNT and Canada know their opponents. Here are the eight groups: 2023 World Cup Draw Group 1 2 3 4 A New Zealand Norway Phillippines Switzerland B Australia Ireland Nigeria Canada C Spain Costa Rica Zambia Japan D England Playoff grp B winner Denmark China PR E USA Vietnam Netherlands Playoff grp A winner F France Jamaica Brazil Playoff grp C winner G Sweden South Africa Italy Argentina H Germany Morocco Colombia Korea Republic In Group A of the qualification playoff tournament, Portugal has already been seeded to the final, with Cameroon and Thailand facing off first. We could also be in for a redux of last year’s discourse around Thailand for yet another World Cup, not just because there’s a chance that they could be the final team to make Group E. In 2019, the U.S. began their tournament against Thailand and won 13-0, sparking a debate around how top teams like the U.S. handle and celebrate against inferior opposition. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/HGPrVWeFw9 — FOX Soccer July 29, 2021 If there’s a ‘group of death,’ Canada got it After any major tournament draw, the first question is always “who got the toughest group — the ‘group of death’?” In this World Cup, it’s probably Group B: Australia, Republic of Ireland, Nigeria, and Canada. And if your plan was to use Sydney as a base camp for the World Cup, it’s not a bad approach — you’ll start with that Australia tournament opener, then get France vs. Jamaica, Colombia vs. Korea, England vs. Denmark, Germany vs. Colombia, then France facing off against their playoff group winner.
