Who will you root for now that the U.S. is out of the World Cup?
Japan's only Women's World Cup win was in 2011, and it is the only other nation left in 2023 that has won the tournament . The country is in good shape to add another to its overall tally as it awaits a quarterfinals match vs. Sweden.Colombia has been one of the pleasant surprises in the tournament after topping a Group H that most had No. 2-ranked Germany breezing through. Instead, Las Chicas Superpoderosas upset Germany en route to a first-place finish led in part by young left winger.
Next is France, a tough opponent to overcome, but never say never in this sport.Like Japan, you're probably wondering why you'd root for a USWNT rival nation to win. But, stylistically, the closest thing to the U.S. you'll get in this bracket is ironically their big historic rival. England, led by Dutch manager Sarina Wiegman, have progressed tremendously since third- and fourth-place finishes in the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, respectively.
