FIFA Women’s World Cup Group F Schedule & Live Stream: Mexico vs France, England vs Colombia Match Preview
Four teams in Group F will look to avoid elimination in the final day of group play in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup on Wednesday in Canada.
Mexico vs. France
Mexico and France will collide in a crucial match at the Lansdowne Stadium in Ottawa, Canada.
France, who are ranked third in the world, will try to avoid early elimination in the tournament. A loss against Mexico will only give them three points in the group stage, which will likely be not enough to advance to the knockout stage.
France, who are coming off a deflating 2-0 loss to Colombia on Saturday in Moncton, could even top Group F with a win against Mexico, depending on their winning margin and the result of the other match.
On the other hand, Mexico are also in a must-win situation as they are currently at the cellar of Group F with just one point in two matches. The Mexican side held Mexico to a 1-1 draw in the tournament opener and took a 2-1 loss to England on Saturday.
Mexico coach Leo Cuellar, who has coached the team over the past 15 years, knows France are surprisingly struggling in the tournament after being named as one of the favorites to win this year. But heading into the crucial match on Wednesday, Cuellar expects France to be at the best because their backs are against the wall.
Cuellar, who knows he will likely lose his job if he fails to give Mexico a win in the World Cup again, told reporters that they need to play a perfect game against France if they want to advance.
England vs. Colombia
Colombia and England will collide in the other Group F match at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.
Colombia are currently on top of the group after scoring a 2-0 win against France and a 1-1 draw with Mexico. A win will put them on top of the group with seven points, while a loss could push them down to third place, but four points might still be enough to advance to the Round-of-16 as one of top four third-placed teams.
England cannot afford to lose because a defeat will mean elimination for them as they have only three points after splitting their first two assignments -- 1-0 loss to France and 2-1 win against Mexico.
