While the United States endeavor to make history with their third straight Women’s World Cup title, England begin their tournament as one of the world’s greatest hopes of dethroning the two-time defending champions, matching up against Haiti to start Group D action.

Haiti, meanwhile, qualified for the tournament via the intercontinental playoff, taking down Senegal and Chile in the tournament this past February, and are now set for their country’s Women’s World Cup debut.
