Canada will need laser focus vs. desperate Australia in Women's World Cup final group game

Of all the things I have seen online about this Women's World Cup, there is nothing more apt than a tweet from my friend Courtney that reads: "The group of death is group of death-ing."

I couldn't agree more. Group B, which consists of Canada, co-host Australia, Nigeria, and Ireland, was thought to be the most unpredictable coming into the tournament.

The reason is that each of these teams has a particular reputation and ability. After two games, the Group B table has Nigeria and Canada with four points, followed by Australia with three, and only Ireland eliminated from contention after losing two matches and accumulating zero points. 

An action-packed day shuffles the group standings.
