Women’s World Cup: United States vs. France

The thrill of Sunday's comeback against Brazil has barely died down; fans have watched and re-watched the clip of that 123rd minute equalizing goal so many times that you could blindfold them and roll them down a hill in a barrel and they would still be able to show you the precise trajectory of the ball from Megan Rapinoe's boot to Abby Wambach's head with a swish of their arm. It'll go down in women's soccer history, but now the U.S. has to move on and deal with France -- a semifinal debutante but arguably one of the most consistent and dangerous performers in Germany. Skybook has the latest odds on this event as well as the other matchups in the FIFA Women’s World Cup. As far as experience goes, the USA is used to playing in the semifinals and finals. After all, they took the World Cup title in both 1991 and 1999. In addition, they came in third in both 2003 and 2007. Also, they are No. 1 in the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women's World Ranking. On the other hand, France has never reached the semifinals of the Cup. This inexperience could go two ways. On the one hand, Les Bleues could be anxious. On the other, their hunger to make history could drive them to win. Another of France's plusses is that many of them play for the same club, the Olympique Lyonnais, so they are used to playing together. Goal-wise, both teams have scored eight. As for goals against, the US has four and France has five. Furthermore, both teams have 37 shots on goal during the tournament. Finally, both squads have a 2-1-1 record in the World Cup. Thus, statistics wise, these teams look pretty even. Both squads have numerous players who can score. France's Marie-Laure Delie and Gatane Thiney have both scored twice. USA's Abby Wambach has also tallied two. Camille Abily, Elodie Thomis, Laura Georges and Elise Bussaglia have each made one. For the "Stars and Stripes," Lauren Cheney, Megan Rapinoe, Carli Lloyd, Rachel Buehler and Heather O' Reilly have all scored one impressive goal. And, of course, there was an own goal that gave them their eighth goal. The US has shown that they can overcome even the steepest of odds. Against Brazil, the Americans played with ten for half the match and fell behind a goal after Brazil was given two penalty kicks for questionable calls. Yet, during injury time of extra time, Megan Rapinoe set up a beautiful cross and Abby Wambach headed it in. Then, during penalty kicks, Hope Solo made an impressive save and Alex Krieger coolly slotted the winning PK home. This match will be closer than the experts think, but the United States will pull out another close win. Play on United States Register to wager on this event by visiting www.skybook.ag/register
