Team USA secured their first victory on Wednesday, but as of Thursday, they were still at the bottom of the standings.
Despite facing tough opponents like France and Canada today, the Americans still have a chance to progress to the next round. Their recent turnaround after three initial losses is promising, especially after their 17-11 win over Spain where they showcased strong shooting and defense. To continue their winning streak, they’ll need to bring their A-game for Friday’s matches.
In their upcoming games against France and Canada, Team USA will face formidable opponents. France, who was previously the top-ranked team globally, still presents a challenge, while Canada, with players like the Plouffe twins and Paige Crozon, have a unique story and talent to watch out for.
The Gangarrus and Germans are looking set for the next round
Australia and Germany confirmed their spots for the next round with wins over Azerbaijan and China, respectively. With one more game left today, both teams are expected to advance given their strong performances so far.
Australia and Germany both demonstrated tough play in their recent matches, securing victories and showcasing standout players like Lauren Mansfield and Sonja Greinacher.
