SYDNEY — A new generation of stars has emerged at the Women's World Cup. Colombia's Linda Caicedo and England's Lauren James have been among the brightest talents so far in a global tournament that has seen the likes of Brazil's Marta, Canada's Christine Sinclair and U.S. veteran Megan Rapinoe playing for the last time. There is a rich flow of talent coming through to take their places. South Korea's Casey Phair made history by becoming the youngest person to play at a World Cup when she went on against Colombia at the age of 16 years and 26 days. The Associated Press takes a look at the rising stars of the World Cup so far.
