TALLAHASSEE, Fla.– The FIFA Women’s World Cup kicked off (literally) on June 7th in France. The United States will have its first game today at 3:00 pm against Thailand. Team USA is ranked number one in the world and is the favorite to win the entire Cup. They are the reigning champions coming into the game, having won in 2015.
Team Thailand
Thailand has a tremendous bout ahead of them having their first game of the World Cup against the top team in the world. Team Thailand ranks 34 overall. The number thirty-four ranked team up against the number one ranked team will make for a very difficult game for Thailand.
“I think if the dream comes true, we can make history to upset one of the best teams in the world,” Thailand coach Nuengruethai Sathongwien said during a press interview. “And it means Thailand can play with the best teams in the world.”
The opportunity to be able to play in the World Cup alone is already a victory for Thailand. This will be the team’s first appearance in the history of the tournament. The last time the USA and Thailand faced off with each other was in 2009 where the US won with a shutout of 9-0.

Team USA
Team USA is excited to start playing, as FIFA saved the best for last. The US and Thailand are the only two teams left that haven’t debuted in the Cup yet.
