The women’s World Cup knockout-round bracket is starting to take shape, with Group A the first to finish play Sunday morning. Switzerland, yet to concede a goal, finished first in Group A, while heavyweight Norway took second. Tournament co-host New Zealand and women’s World Cup newcomer the Philippines were both eliminated.
Two more groups will wrap up Monday. Japan and Spain have already clinched the two knockout-round spots in Group C, but the winner of the group remains undecided. The two powers face off at 3 a.m. Eastern time.
