Here are the group tiebreakers at the Women’s World Cup for teams that are tied on points:
www.wwlp.com
- Goal differential: Subtract the number of goals scored by goals conceded.
- Goals scored in the entire group stage
- Head-to-Head result: Most points obtained in the group match(s) between the teams concerned
- Superior goal difference from the match(s) between the teams concerned
- Most goals scored in the group match(s) between the teams concerned.
- Fair Play Points: Teams are deducted one Fair Play point for a yellow card, three for an indirect red card (two yellows), four for a straight red card and five Fair Play points for a yellow card and a straight red. The team with the most number of points after this criteria is applied wins the Fair Play tiebreaker.
- Drawing of lots: The most recent description involves a FIFA committee member selecting from a group of table-tennis-sized balls with team names written on one ball each. The team selected advances.

I posed a question about former or current US college players in the 2023 WWC at the Bigsoccer forum.
So far I got this response --
"Yes, there are 137 former or current ncaa players in the WC. Not all are/were D1.
that’s enough to field 6 teams in the competition. Canada leads the list with 22 ncaa players
The USA is second with 20. Haven’t found the list yet.
also there are 76 us nationals, including the 23 on the uswnt.
I found that list… "

Australia preserved half at least of the history/tradition of the host country surviving through group play, with a 4-0 blasting of Canada. Canada had to settle for what I called in the days of youth soccer tournaments the FTE, or Full Tournament Experience -- a win, a loss, and a draw.

Best line I have read all day - "They [USWNT] are tactically unsophisticated and technically insufficient relative to their European peers. A defective youth pipeline has left them woefully unprepared for the international stage. "
USA 0-0 Portugal
USA looked like they were trying not to lose rather than trying to win and only narrowly succeeded at that. I echoed (I am sure) many coaches of 12-year-olds, shouting "Stop shooting at the keeper!" pointlessly at the TV.

England 6-1 China
One of the prettiest played games I have seen in the tournament. The one goal given up was a VAR PK. USA women would do better to watch the video of this game rather than any of their own games.

Denmark 2-0 Haiti
Haiti gave Denmark a lot of trouble until Denmark put in their oldest player late in the game, seemingly just as a nice gesture, and she repaid the kindness with the clincher goal.

I think what's really frustrating people is that we know that there's all kinds of talent in the USA. Problem is that getting to the USWNT is a buddy system of who you know, who you've played for, and maybe a little talent sprinkled in.
It's also telling that several countries have US trained players and they're making waves. How can this happen if all the best US players are on the USWNT? It doesn't make sense. Unless you factor in that the funnel for the USWNT is poorly managed and likely corrupt.
