Netherlands already has its first World Cup victory out of the way. Now it can focus on bigger goals.
The Dutch weren’t perfect in their World Cup opener against a stingy New Zealand side, but Lieke Martens’ 33rd-minute strike was enough to earn her side three points. Oranje are ranked just 12th in the world, but with the all-world attacking duo of Martens and 18-year-old sensation Vivanne Miedema, they have a good chance to make some noise in Canada. And with a win over China Thursday afternoon, they will almost assuredly secure a top-two position in Group A.
As Canada found out in the tournament’s first match, though, China isn’t a pushover. It admirably held the hosts scoreless for 90 minutes before captain Christine Sinclair scored an injury-time penalty to break the hearts of the Chinese team and rob them of a point. Now, China desperately needs a result to stay alive in group play.
Kick-off is at 6 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 2. Here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
