Olympic 2012: Women’s football- United States Vs France

Only a few days more to go and then London Olympics 2012 will start with its historical glamour and excitement. With 36 different types of games and sports, this year’s Olympics will start on July 25, 2012. On the inaugural day, there will be six matches in Women’s football category. All the six groups, each having four teams, in this category will play their group stage matches on the day to come out with the teams for the playoffs. While the first match of the day is between Group E teams: host nation Great Britain and New Zealand, the second match is between Group G teams, United States and France. This match will be played at Hampden Park and it will commence at 17.00 hours GMT.

In Group G, there are four teams: France, United States of America, North Korea and Columbia. This is the fifth year that this event Women’s Football is going to be held in the Olympics. In those four previous occasions, USA won gold three times, in 1996, 2004 and 2008. In 2000, they ended up with silver being the runner up as Norway topped the event winning gold. This year, USA is the only team from this group which had been in the top four in all the earlier occasions. In the last eight, the Group G topper will play against the third ranked country from Group E and Group F.

In their first group stage match, France is facing the almighty USA. But France is not an underdog because in 2011 Fifa Women’s World Cup, France ended up as a semi finalist and their appearance in the Fifa semi final has paved their way to this London Olympics. In the earlier part of 2012, France won the Cyprus Cup which has added a feather to their level of performance and potentiality to take up any challenge. Coach Bruno Bini who is responsible for this team since 2007 has worked hard with her girls to achieve this position. They are now quite confident to keep up their winning stream by defeating USA.

The only adjective that can be used to describe the USA Women’s football team is Olympic Champions. They became the champions three times and are in very good form to be the champion once more in this Olympics. They played in the pre Olympics qualifying matches in an impressive way. Moreover, recently in the Concacaf Championship, they won all the five matches scoring 31 goals but did not concede any goal from the opponent’s side. Finally in the final, Canada was beaten up by them in 4-0. So with such rate of performance, they have been in this Olympics and are looking forward to defy France to move on with their campaign.

Olympic 2012: Women’s football- Great Britain Vs New Zealand

Just a few days to go and the Olympics 2012 will grab the attention of the entire world. Starting on July 25, 2012, this event will continue till August 12, 2012 featuring three dozen games. On the first day of this historic sports event, a set of women’s football matches have been scheduled and the first one is between the host country, Great Britain and New Zealand which will be played at the Millennium Stadium. This match will start at 16.00 hours GMT.

In Group E, besides the host nation, there are three more countries, New Zealand, Cameroon and Brazil. Brazil has always been placed in the top four positions in this category in previous four occasions. But they have never won the Olympics gold. In 2004 and 2008, they won the silver being the runners up team and in 2000 and 1996, they occupied the fourth position. However, this time they are the only team in this group to end the Olympics as a No. 4 team.

Among these four teams, the winner of this group will be in the quarter finals to play against the third qualifier from Group F and Group G. Great Britain’s Women’s Football team is participation in this event for the first time and since they are the host nation, they got an easy entry in this event without going through any qualifying round. This team has reached the playoffs of Fifa Women’s World Cup in 2011 and lost to France in that round. But in recent times, this team has been playing quite impressively to create some marking in this Olympics. The team coach Hope Powell is quite confident with her team and she is hopeful that in the inaugural match, England will maintain their dominance over the New Zealand to prevail over them.

On the other hand, the Kiwis are comparatively in a leading position with respect to England on the basis of their earlier appearances in this sports event. In 2008, New Zealand Women’s Football team participated in the Olympics for the first time and they ended their campaign from the group stage with a single point from a draw match against Japan. This time they played the pre-Olympic qualifying match against Papua New Guinea and defeated their opponents in an outstanding way in 15-0 score line to make their way to London Olympics 2012. Sarah Gregorius became the star of the match scoring three goals. The Kiwi Coach Tony Readings is happy with his team girls and is looking forward to be the group topper.
