Sydney, July 30 (Ians) Norway powered into the Round of 16 at the FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 6-0 thrashing of the Philippines on Sunday, but co-hosts New Zealand was knocked out after being held to a 0-0 draw by Switzerland.
In the late match on Sunday, Manuela Vanegas headed a winner deep in stoppage time as Colombia stunned two-time champions Germany 2-1 in front of a 40,000 crowd in Sydney.

But an unmarked Vanegas produced a powerful long-range header in the 97th minute to inflict Germany’s first group-stage defeat in 20 years.
Teenager Linda Caicedo had given Colombia the lead in the 52nd minute after superbly weaving between two defenders before curling a perfectly weighted strike past goalkeeper Merle Frohms.

Melbourne, July 24 (Ians) Skipper Alexandra Popp struck twice as Germany made a flying start to their FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign with a comprehensive 6-0 win over the newcomers Morocco here at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, on Monday.
The two-time champions had only lost one of their previous 24 group-stage matches at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and debutantes Morocco never looked like doubling that meagre tally.
Morocco fell behind as early as the 11th minute when captain Popp put Germany 1-0 up with her perfectly timed header and doubled the lead just before half-time with another header.
Klara Buhl scored in the first minute of the second half. Salt was then applied to Moroccan wounds as Germany tightened their grip, with two scruffy own goals followed by a late Lea Schuller strike that rounded off the victory in injury time.
Germany now hold a commanding lead at the top...
