Women’s World Cup 2011
OK, I’ll try to keep it down, but the 2011 Women’s World Cup in Germany started today. ESPN is carrying the games on cable and on the ‘Net. It is really good football [soccer for Americans], with more finesse than the male version.
It was Germany 2-1 Canada and Nigeria 0-1 France in Group A today.
There are only 16 teams, so it doesn’t take as long as the Men’s version. There are only four groups, and in the first round each team has to play the other three teams in their group, with the top two teams going on to the next round which is single elimination.

And the US team will do better than at the male version
Well, that doesn’t take much. The women want to play football, while the US men want to make money with a professional team.
We’ll have to see how the English team does.
Not that well. They will be lucky to make the quarter finals
They made it to the Cup which is more than the Netherlands, Italy, or Spain can say.
