Colombia women’s forward footballer Melissa Ortiz believes that team’s opening game of 2015 world cup is going to be special. As per her views, Colombian team is eager to take revenge from Mexico women’s soccer team as Colombia was beaten in the Central American Games final last year.
Melissa Ortiz said in an interview on FIFA.com, “The most special game will be the Mexico one, not just because it will be our first, but also as it will be a chance for revenge. In the Central American Games last November, we drew with them in the opening match and then lost 2-0 to them in the final. That’s why we’re even more determined [to beat them].”

She said, “Here in the USA, it’s very normal [for girls] to play and it wasn’t hard to find a team, but when I told my relatives in Colombia, they were surprised. It was rare then for girls to play football and they didn’t even know we had a national women’s team.”
