Fox News
With the friendlies and warmup games coming to a close, Ireland knows they are going to be underdogs against their co-host Australia in the Women's World Cup.
"We feel like underdogs and we embrace it," Ireland forward Marissa Sheva said. "I think it gives us a little bit of energy and we know the pressure is not on us, it’s on them for this game."
The match was initially scheduled for a smaller downtown stadium but had to be switched to Stadium Australia, at Sydney Olympic Park, which is also the venue for the Aug. 20 final.
