2023 Women’s World Cup: July 20 daily game thread — Philippines vs. Switzerland on tap; Nigeria 0

Opening day, and the hosts kick us off.

It’s the first day of the World Cup! Group A and B are in action with a full slate of games that spans from 3AM EST to 1AM the next day. Both host nations are in action to start us off, and from a North American perspective, the exciting Canada team may be the game to watch — it certainly may be the easiest, considering start time.

In the early game, inaugural Ballon d’Or winner and Champions League stalwart Ada Hegerberg leads the line for Norway. And Australia, which downed France in a recent pre-tournament friendly, will try to put their stamp on Group B early.
