  "account": "The Ghanaian women's national football team, known as the Black Princesses, have been eliminated from the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup after being defeated 4-0 by France in their final Group C match in Poland. This loss has extended Ghana's streak of eight consecutive group-stage exits since their debut in 2010. Coach Charles Sampson's team entered the match aware that avoiding defeat would keep their hopes of advancing to the knockout round alive. In the previous game against South Korea, Sampson made a change to his starting lineup, bringing on Latifa Abesik as a replacement for the injured Esther Asamoah. Despite an early chance to take the lead, Priscilla Mensah's goal was disallowed for offside. The Black Princesses maintained a disciplined defense and were level with France at halftime. However, after the break, France dominated, scoring four goals without reply to secure a convincing victory and eliminate Ghana from the tournament. Ghana finished the group stage with three points, placing them at the bottom of Group C, while France topped the group with seven points, followed by South Korea in second with four points and Ecuador in third on goal difference. This result means that three of Africa's four representatives have now been eliminated from the tournament, following the earlier exits of Benin and Tanzania.",
