Day 7 of the Women’s World Cup features two more second-round matchups in the group stage, with one of the favorites needing a big result to avoid an early exit, while two losing teams from the first weekend try to get back on track.
Women’s World Cup: Australia vs Brazil
- Date: Thursday, June 13

Australia’s surprising loss to Italy on Sunday means they arrive in the second game against Brazil in desperate need of three points. The Italians are likely to beat Jamaica on Friday, so a loss to the Brazilians could mean a shocking group stage elimination for the Matildas. If Brazil is able to end a four-game losing streak to Australia, they’ll punch a ticket to the Round of 16 and gain tremendous confidence after entering the tournament losing nine straight games.
Women’s World Cup: South Africa vs China
Date: Thursday, June 13
Time: 3:00 p.m. ET

The day’s second match should be a lot of fun. Both teams left great impressions in their losses to Spain and Germany, and their contrasting styles should make for an entertaining 90 minutes. The Banyana Banyana made a few crucial mistakes at the back against Spain, but their speed on the wings could cause problems for China. The Steel Roses gave a great effort against second-ranked Germany in the opening match, defending extremely well and losing by just one goal. They need to show more going forward if they want to win this one, but staying solid at the back is important against a dangerous South Africa side.
