Jeenah Moon for The New York Times
The quarterfinal between the United States and France was perhaps the most highly anticipated game of the Women’s World Cup. As defending champions with a deep pool of talent, the United States was favored. But France had a strong opening game against South Korea and home-field advantage at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.
We sent Pete Kiehart to the streets of Paris (photos on the left) and Jeenah Moon to an outdoor watch party in Brooklyn (photos on the right) to capture the joy and sorrow of a World Cup win, and a World Cup loss in real time.
