A look at the U.S. Women’s National Team’s biggest competition at the World Cup.
This is where the smart money is. Spain, the heavy favorite in Group C, looms as women’s soccer’s next great national team. With a core group borrowed from Barcelona, the most dominant club team in the world, Spain has a fluid, attack-minded setup. It starts with Alexia Putellas, who has been awarded the past two Ballons d’Or as the world’s top player and recently returned from a knee injury. Add in the wondrous Aitana Bonmati, with Irene Paredes anchoring the defense.
A brief list of insane things that have happened around France’s squad in the past year-plus: Kheira Hamraoui, at one point a member of the national team, was dragged from a car and bashed in the legs Nancy Kerrigan-style, and her club teammate Aminata Diallo was charged with masterminding the attack; captain Wendie Renard briefly quit the team in protest of the team’s working conditions; widely loathed coach Corinne Diacre was fired and replaced by veteran hand Herve Renard .
