Who is out of the Women’s World Cup 2023?

Teams out of the Women’s World Cup: Every nation eliminated – The table below was updated throughout the 2023 tournament as teams are eliminated with the final entrant being the losing finalist on August 20. With the group stage completed, 16 of the 32 sides that began the World Cup were knocked out.

1. A further eight followed in the Round of 16.
2. The most high-profile team knocked out during the group stage was Olympic champions Canada, who began their final matchday in second spot before getting hammered 4-0 by Australia and suffering elimination.
3. There was then a shock when South Africa won a Women’s World Cup match for the first time, eliminating Italy in the process.

However, a seismic upset came later on August 2, when Brazil were held to a 0-0 draw with Jamaica that meant they did not qualify for the next round. A day later, Germany — the No.2-ranked side in the world, twice World Cup winners, and the beaten finalists at last year’s Euros — were eliminated after drawing 1-1 with South Korea.

And just when it seemed as though the surprises would end, USA — winners of the past two tournaments — were eliminated on penalties by Sweden. The next Round of 16 match saw England scrape past Nigeria on penalties with star player Lauren James receiving a straight red card. Co-hosts Australia progressed in more convincing style, beating Denmark 2-0 and then defeated France on penalties to reach their first semifinal.

England overcame Colombia to set up a meeting with the Matildas. Spain edged a 1-0 win over England in the final with La Roja winning their first major trophy.

Who’s better Pele or Ronaldo?

On the international stage – Ronaldo has recently set himself apart as the most prolific international player in history, surpassing the record previously held by Iran icon Ali Daei. He’s sat on 118 goals for Portugal, having made his debut back in 2003.

Messi, like Ronaldo, is his country’s leading scorer but his Argentina total sits at 98. Pele remains – just – Brazil’s joint-leading scorer. Neymar recently equalled his record of 77 goals in his 124th cap whilst at the World Cup in Qatar, albeit the legendary figure scored that many in far fewer games.

His haul came in 92 outings – giving him a strike ratio of 0.84. Ronaldo’s is 0.6 whilst Messi’s is 0.56. Pele claimed three World Cup triumphs ( Image: John Varley/REX/Shutterstock) The World Cup is the only stage all three can somewhat be compared on equal footing.

Messi recently joined Pele as a World Cup winner – a claim Ronaldo cannot match. The Argentine has scored more World Cup goals – 13 – than his two rivals, though he’s played more games. Pele hit 12 goals at the World Cup and Ronaldo has notched eight times. Pele’s ratio, though, sees him come out on top again; 0.86 compared to Messi on 0.5 and Ronaldo on 0.36.

This means that once the club and the international stages come together and the calculators are whipped out, across their careers, Ronaldo has scored more than Messi and Pele. He has notched 819 times, with Pele sat on 786 and Messi bagging on 793 occasions.

Has a woman scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final?

Carli Lloyd: The 13-minute ‘out of this world’ World Cup final hat trick In a frenetic final, Carli Lloyd pounced on a loose pass midway inside her own half. was 3-0 up inside the opening 15 minutes in its match against Japan, and the game was being played at a frantic pace.

But for Lloyd, surrounded by the chaos around her, it looked like time stood still as she took a touch past an onrushing defender. Then, in a matter of milliseconds, the (USWNT) star looked up and launched a half-field shot towards the Japanese goal. “It was like nothing else around me was penetrating,” Lloyd explained to CNN Sport.

“It was me, the field, my teammates, the ball, and that was all I was thinking about. “That’s what happens when you are in that flow state – just being in that moment. A lot of good things happen when you’re in that space.” As the ball flew toward Japan’s goalkeeper, Ayumi Kaihori, she began to stumble and her flailing hands weren’t enough to prevent Lloyd from completing an incredible 13-minute hat trick. The US went on to win the final 5-2. Success that was built on years of hard work, as well as a desire to reverse the disappointment of four years prior. “2011 was a really difficult loss to swallow,” Lloyd explained. The US had fought its way to the 2011 Women’s World Cup final and Japan had stood between the team and glory.

• The US had already overcome the formidable Brazil on penalties, as well as beating France in the semifinals, and the team was confident heading into the biggest game of all.
• “We felt like the way the World Cup was going, our storyline as a team, hadn’t won a World Cup since 1999, we just really felt like it was our time to win,” said Lloyd of the 2011 final.
• Despite this inner feeling of confidence within the squad, the US came up short, falling to a devastating penalty shootout defeat.
• Along with Shannon Boxx and Tobin Heath, Lloyd was among the players that had missed during the shootout and this helped provide even more inspiration to the New Jersey native going into the 2015 tournament.

“I just was devastated. I felt really responsible and just really kind of took some of that blame for letting down my teammates and the country,” the two-time Olympic gold medalist said. Lloyd vividly remembered arriving back in the US after the tournament and being greeted by fans who were full of admiration for the team, even though she felt the team had failed. The expectations were high for the US heading into the 2015 Women’s World Cup and with the tournament hosted by neighbors Canada, US fans flocked to see their heroines in action. As they did four years ago, the US reached the final once more. The side came out of the ‘Group of Death,’ featuring Australia, Sweden and Nigeria, unbeaten before going past Colombia, China and Germany in the knockout stages without conceding a goal. Upon waking up, Lloyd thought it would be best to treat the occasion like every other gameday. The forward went for her traditional pre-match morning jog but even this could not take her mind away from the game. “I can vividly remember just the fans walking around in red, white and blue and wishing me good luck and waving,” Lloyd said of the day of the final.

• It was a really, really surreal moment.” The team made its way to the BC Place stadium in Vancouver and, despite the confidence flowing through the team four years prior, Lloyd said there was a different feeling altogether this time.
• When we got to that match, there was just something different about our team, the way that we were feeling.

We were light. We were ready. We were charged up. We were just excited for the moment.” “You always want to come out and start fast and furious, and we definitely did that,” Lloyd said, smiling. In this case, fast and furious would also be an understatement.

1. The US was leading Japan 4-0 after just 16 minutes and Lloyd said that the early goals set the tone for the rest of the encounter.
2. We got off to one of the best starts in a tournament that you could ever ask for,” Lloyd said.
3. It sounds pretty crazy, but scoring the first goal, it was like, ‘okay, I want more, we need more.’ Then you score the second goal and then it’s like, ‘okay, we need to keep pressing on.'” This desire to constantly be better is one of the many reasons for the US’ success over the years and the team’s ruthlessness was plain to see.

Lloyd laughed as she remembered hearing stories of people tuning into the game late and missing the ferocious start.

1. To complete her historic hattrick, the first in a Women’s World Cup final, Lloyd scored with the strike from over 50 yards out – a goal that players only tend to dream of scoring.
2. “For whatever reason, in that particular moment, I decided to do something that was just out of this world,” Lloyd said.
3. “I just couldn’t believe it, honestly, to be able to pull that off in a World Cup final and to be able to complete a hat trick in that fashion – you don’t get many moments like that.”

As unlikely as it may seem, being the star player in a World Cup final has its downsides. “I missed the majority of the locker room celebrations. I was being ushered all over the place. I remember having to walk to the press conference, doing interviews, doing all sorts of things,” said Lloyd, who was unsurprisingly named the player of the match. However, after arriving back in the US having won the Women’s World Cup for a record third time, a far more exciting prospect was waiting the US squad. Lloyd talked of the team being viewed as “heroes,” welcomed with an incredible ticker-tape parade in New York – the first women’s team to make their way through the – as the USWNT solidified its status as one of the nation’s favorite sports team. The World Cup final hat trick has become synonymous with Lloyd’s career – a brilliant player, capable of producing brilliant moments on the biggest stage of all. “There’s a lot of other moments in there, too. I think that one just kind of blew everything out of the water,” Lloyd said of her star-studded career.
