BRISBANE, Aug 6 (Reuters) - England's Sarina Wiegman is the lone female head coach remaining at the Women's World Cup after the elimination of South Africa on Sunday, which could bode well for the Lionesses Down Under if history has a hand in it. Twelve of the World Cup's 32 head coaches were women, including Desiree Ellis, whose Banyana Banyana were ousted in a 2-0 loss to the Netherlands in the round of 16. Since 2000, all but one of the major women's football tournaments – the Women's World Cup, Women's Euros and the Olympics – have been won by female-coached teams, according to the Female Coaching Network. Norio Sasaki, the man who coached Japan to World Cup gold in 2011, is the sole exception. Wiegman, whose European champions play Nigeria in the round of 16 on Monday, took over as Lionesses head coach in September 2021, and her squad went on a 30-game unbeaten streak that included just five draws.

☆ Norway fail to find balance as World Cup journey ends

Coach Hege Riise tinkered with her side throughout the World Cup but never managed to find the lineup or tactics that would get the most out of her squad, and she faces an uncertain future after a third poor showing in four tournaments. "But (Japan) did well, we played solid defence at times but not quite good enough." Norway's defence was also shaky, with Hansen at left back and youthful central defender Mathilde Harviken targeted by opponents. If Riise, a World Cup winner with Norway in 1995, cannot mend the bridges she burned by dropping Graham Hansen, she may not have another chance to see if she can get the most out of a side that is now best known for being far less than the sum of its parts.

WELLINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Hinata Miyazawa scored her fifth goal of the tournament as Japan beat Norway 3-1 in a clash of former champions on Saturday to reach the quarter-finals of the Women's World Cup for the fourth time. "I'm very happy, I didn't think we would be able to come so far," Miyazawa told reporters. Norway, world champions in 1995, depart the World Cup before the quarter-finals for only the third time in nine campaigns. Space started opening up for Japan as Norway pressed forward and Miyazawa benefited in the 81st minute, taking a touch off Aoba Fujino's through ball and rolling it coolly into the net. "We met a very good Japan team," said Norway coach Hege Riise.

While Japan came through their group unscathed, Norway lost to co-hosts New Zealand in the tournament opener while a public spat threatened to derail their campaign before they eventually qualified. "You can see the level of the World Cup is rising, so the women's game is growing fast," Norway coach Hege Riise told reporters. "Now, they have developed quite fast and become a strong team." Japan coach Futoshi Ikeda praised the teamwork that saw them keep three clean sheets in three wins to advance. "Spain has very strong players... We look at them as a compact and strong team."

☆ Surprise winners, shock losers in 32-team World Cup group stage

The stunning upsets sent twice German champions packing in their first exit from the group stage in nine editions of the World Cup. Revived Norway were a big group stage winner, brushing off a turbulent two weeks to squeeze into the knockout rounds on goal difference over New Zealand. Norway's advancement sealed New Zealand's fate, despite the Football Ferns having edged the Norwegians 1-0 for their first win at a World Cup at the tournament's opening match. South Africa are not used to dominating outside their own continent and the nation erupted in celebration after the Banyana Banyana knocked out Italy, quarter-finalists four years ago, to progress with their first ever World Cup win. China's Steel Roses, once titans of women's soccer with silver medals from the 1996 Olympics and 1999 World Cup, were shock losers in the group stage, bowing out in a 6-1 thumping by England.

July 29 (Reuters) - Norway striker Ada Hegerberg will not play in their must-win Women's World Cup group game against the Philippines after failing to recover from a groin injury in time, coach Hege Riise said on Saturday. Hegerberg withdrew prior to kickoff in the second game after tweaking her groin in the warm-ups. The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner headed quickly down the tunnel to the locker room before Norway drew 0-0 with Switzerland. "She is not ready for this game, it came too early after her injury," Riise told reporters. Hansen had mentioned she had been removed from the leadership group by Riise last year.
