The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup continues Monday (on FS1 and the FOX Sports app) as Germany is taking on Morocco in a Group H tilt at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in Australia.
Germany has been a juggernaut for years on the world stage, and the two-time World Cup champions enter this year’s tournament ranked second in the world rankings. Germany will be counting on midfielder Lina Magull and goalkeeper Merle Frohms for leadership if it hopes to continue its streak of having never conceded to an African nation in the World Cup.
Meanwhile, Morocco is ranked 72nd in the world, according to FIFA, and is making its first World Cup appearance. However, the Atlas Lionesses are playing well as of late, having allowed just four goals in their past seven matches.
