Women's World Cup

[LWashington]

Starts tomorrow.

Anyone any thoughts who they think will/want to win?

I've had a tenner on France at 6/1 and might have a each-way bet on Norway 25/1.

I want England to win, same as ever, few city women in the team as well.

 

[LWashington]

I want England to win but just can't see it even 20/1 each way is a poor price. I think they make it through the group easily enough but fear last 16 or quarters is as far as they'll go.

Canada have someone called Sinclair playing for them who has over 200 caps and has scored almost 150 goals, she may be worth a first goal flutter.

24 teams starting so expect lits of dull games in the groups as no team will want to lose either if their first two matches.

As for England last 8 at best.

England group is interesting because finishing second gives you potentially a much easier run to the final. If the groups go to form winner of England's group face a quarter final with Germany and a semi with USA, whereas finishing second puts you in the half with group Japan, Brazil and Canada.

No doubt there will be a fair amount of ahem.... talent on show......

 

[Indestructable]

Looking forward to this tournament. Not betting on it, but if I was I would back USA.

 

[Chancy Termites]

Taking a wild guess here, but I don't think Ivory Coast are going to win.

Hmm they've certainly left themselves with a mountain to climb now!
