The 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup is the sixth instance of the FIFA Women's World Cup, the world championship for women's nationalassociation football teams. It is being held from 26 June to 17 July 2011 in Germany, which won the right to host the event in October 2007.
The matches are played in nine stadiums in nine host cities around the country, with the final being played at the Commerzbank Arena inFrankfurt. Sixteen teams were selected for participation via a worldwide qualification tournament that began in 2009. In the first round of the tournament finals, the teams compete in round-robin groups of four teams for points, with the top two teams in each group proceeding. These eight teams advance to the knockout stage, where two rounds of play decide which teams will participate in the final.
England overcame the odds to beat in-form Japan 2-0 and seal their place at the top of Group B in the Women's World Cup.
Germany continued their march toward retaining their title with a 4-2 win over France, to set up a quarter-final clash with Japan.
France will now face England in the next round without their suspended goalkeeper Sapowicz, while Germany take on Japan.
The other game in Group B saw Mexico pegged back in a dramatic finale by New Zealand in a 2-2 draw that restored some pride, but little else.
The game took just two minutes to get going as Mexico midfielder Stephany Mayor broke the offside trap to slip the ball under goalkeeper Jenny Bindon's legs.
While the last game of Group A between Nigeria and Canada was hit by floodlight failure in Dresden and was halted at 0-0 in the 70th minute.
