Comments and predictions for Japan Women vs Norway Women: Continued excitement
The Japanese women entered the 1/8 round of the Women's World Cup with the highest confidence and the girls from the country of cherry blossoms are expected to win tickets to the next round. Remember, coach Ikeda's army is one of the rare names to win in the group stage.
In detail, Japanese women won all three matches in Group C, scoring 11 goals and not conceding once. Notably, Kumagai and his teammates once defeated the Spanish women's championship candidate team with a score of 4-0 in the last match of the group stage.
If the opponent is in the best form, then the Norwegian woman has to work very hard to continue to the 1/8 round. Accordingly, the representative of Europe could only go on thanks to a 6-0 victory over the Philippines woman in the last match.
This is a result enough for the Norwegian women to surpass the New Zealand women in goal difference in the race for second place in Group A – both have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss.
