There are still games to see in the World Cup which has been going on for a week or so.

The Women's World Cup is still choosing which teams will go on to the bracket stage.  Here is the bracket so far:

The Women's World Cup finishes on July 17th.  It is actually easy to find tv coverage of most of the games on ESPN2.  Standings here.   Guardian coverage here.
