Welcome to Culturedarm’s live blog on the fifteenth day of the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. With the group phase of the competition coming to a close on Wednesday, the women have had a few days to rest and recuperate and prepare tactically for their upcoming opponents, and the Round of 16 is ready to commence. The first match of the round is set to see Germany vs. Sweden, with a place in the Quarter-Finals at stake. The match will begin at 16:00 local time, which is just twenty minutes away, from Lansdowne Stadium, Ottawa.
