French Baguettes: Winning the group

The United States Women’s National Team entered yesterday’s Group F finale against Sweden in Le Havre needing a win or draw to secure 1st place and a return trip to Reims for the Round of 16. For thousands of American fans, it was a chance to visit the Normandy region of France and a beautiful small city at the mouth of the Seine River.

Le Havre wasn’t ready. The scores of American fans that descended upon the small northern city inundated one of the biggest bars in town for their pregame party.
