2023 Women's World Cup

The quarterfinal bracket is nearly set at the Women's World Cup. England beat Nigeria on penalty kicks after a red card for Lauren James, and two great Australia goals sent Denmark packing.

The Women's World Cup says goodbye to Germany and Brazil and welcome to Morocco and Jamaica. Here are the teams and games to watch as the tournament's knockout stage begins.

"For them, it's just the beginning. For me, it's the end of the line now," said Marta after her team's tie with Jamaica. She holds the record for most World Cup goals scored by a man or woman.

Referees have wide discretion to add extra game time due to injuries, substitutions and lengthy celebrations after goals. At this tournament, referees are tacking on a lot more than previous tourneys.

The U.S. defeated the Netherlands in 2019 for its second consecutive World Cup title. Now the two teams are battling in the group stage as the U.S. looks to shake off a sluggish win over Vietnam.

The USWNT is hoping its mix of veterans and rookies will become the first team to win three straight World Cups. They'll start by taking on a nation playing in its very first.
