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.
