BRISBANE, July 31 (Reuters) - Nigeria advanced to the Women's World Cup knockout stages for just the third time in their history after a 0-0 draw with Ireland in their final Group B match on Monday, with the African side finishing second in the group behind hosts Australia. Nigeria started the game as group toppers and only needed to avoid defeat to advance to the last 16, no matter the result in the other group game between Australia and Canada in Melbourne. Nigeria will have to wait until Tuesday to discover who their last-16 opponents will be with Group D yet to be decided. Debutants Ireland were already eliminated after two defeats but go home having earned their first ever point at the World Cup.

At the 2019 World Cup in France, the United States thoroughly demolished Thailand 13-0. "Going into this World Cup the game has just grown and a lot of federations have grown as well," said U.S. defender Naomi Girma. Only 40% identified themselves as a professional footballer, although all will receive $30,000 direct from FIFA for playing in the World Cup. "We know we are not going to have any easy game in the World Cup," she said. They made the World Cup."
