World Cup is only for men? NO! http://www.fifa.com/womenworldcup/index.html
Sixteen nations including perennial powerhouses the United States, Norway, Germany, Sweden and Brazil will head to five Chinese cities for the Sept. 10-30 tournament. The 16 teams in this year's tournament include five from Europe (Norway, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, England); host China and four other Asian/Pacific teams (Australia, Korea DPR, Japan, New Zealand); and two teams each from North America (United States, Canada), Africa (Nigeria, Ghana), and South America (Argentina, Brazil).
This year is the fifth time the Women's World Cup has been held since the tournament began in 1991. The United States won in 1991 and 1999, while Norway won in 1995 and Germany in 2003.
Even though I am a fun of World Cup, I didn't even know the fact that there is a "Women's World Cup." I've never seen women's soccer. I think I'll like Women's World Cup. I'm not sure if many people are interested in Women's soccer, but it is true that the number of the women soccer players are increasing little by little. FIFA said that they hope to see some really close matches in China, then they can think about expanding the 2011 tournament from 16 teams to 24.
