2023 FIFA Women's World Cup
The Chronicler:
The first matches of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup will be tomorrow (or later today, depending on your time zone), so I figured it was time to start this topic.
Just like with last year's men's World Cup, even though I won't be able to watch all of the matches (especially considering the time zone difference for this tournament), I will definitely watch the matches where team USA will play (worth noting is they won the last two World Cups, so they now have an opportunity to potentially win three in a row, which has never be done by either men's or women's teams for any country), and possibly some played by the co-hosts Australia and New Zealand.
I will make an effort to try watching all matches once the knockout round begins, which will be particularly interesting since this is the first Women's World Cup to have 32 teams participating instead of 24, so this will be the first women's tournament to have a Round of 16 to begin the knockout stage. This new expanded format means there's quite a few teams who are making their very first appearance in a Women's World Cup (some of whom have not yet had even their men's team qualify for the men's World Cup), so it'll be interesting to see how well these less experienced teams will do.
(EDIT: I was mistaken. After some quick research, all previous Women's World Cups with 24 teams did in fact have a Round of 16 to start the knockout round. The expansion to 32 teams means there will be eight groups in the group stage rather than just six groups in previous tournaments.)
And just like I did last year, I will not waste my time with writing up summaries and will instead post links showing highlight videos and match details every day as each match is completed (assuming of course that I can find similar links with the sources I used last year).
I think that covers all the important things for now, so for those of you who will be watching, which teams are you most interested in seeing how they perform?
The Chronicler:
I'll be using the same format and sources I used last year to share what happens in each World Cup match, which means I'll be including eight matches per post and editing these posts as the listed matches are completed. First up are the opening matches of Groups A, B, C, and D.
