2023 Women’s World Cup Cup, Day 4: Match thread and discussion

Three groups will be in action today with Sweden and South Africa starting things off in New Zealand. The Swedes will aim to get off to a strong start in the tournament but will have to get past a defensive minded South Africa side to get things started for Group G.

The USWNT will get a chance to see their other two competitors in Group E as the Netherlands go against Portugal. The game that could very well determine who emerges from the Group with each team favored against Vietnam but also needing to take on the Americans as well.

Finally, France and Jamaica will be the morning cap as the action moves to Sydney. The French have a young but talented team and will need to be aware of the Jamaica attacking ability led by Bunny Shaw to avoid an early stumble in the tournament.
