Favorites Women’s World Cup 23
UNITED STATES:
The big favorite and first choice in the association ranking. It is the current champion, having won the 2019 World Cup in France, and the team with the most world titles with four wins.
In their squad, Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan or Rose Lavelle stand out, offering a perfect harmony between physicality, strength, solid defense and all offensive resources.
At the last Olympics, they lost to Canada and ended up taking bronze, the Americans’ last defeat in an official game.
It is logical that bookies consider them big favorites to win this Women’s World Cup.
They will feature in Group E with teams from Vietnam, the Netherlands and Portugal.
England:
England can make history in Australia and New Zealand, finishing touches to a golden generation who have already won the European Women’s Championship and expect to reach at least their first World Cup final.
In the qualifying phase, they won all matches in Group D, which also included Austria, Northern Ireland, Luxembourg, North Macedonia and Latvia.
They had to battle Haiti, Denmark and China in Group D.
Spain:
Spain has its best generation ever with the likes of Aitana Bonmatí, Mapi León, Sandra Paños, Irene Paredes and above all Alexia Putellas and Jenni Hermoso. The problem the national team faced is the complicated situation faced by 15 of us who, for emotional reasons, preferred to resign from the national team.
In the standings, Spain took 1st place in Group B with full victories ahead of Scotland, Ukraine, Hungary and the Faroe Islands. In Australia and New Zealand it will be about getting revenge on the USA, who beat us 2-1 in the round of 16 at the last World Cup in 2019 in France.
The hype got us into Group C, which also includes Costa Rica, Zambia and Japan.
Germany:
Germany has had better periods as they are one of the most successful teams and as with the men, ‘Football is eleven against eleven but Germany always wins’. They have won the World Cup twice and the European Cup eight times, and are ranked 2nd in the rankings.
To get here, they topped Group H with ease, with the only defeat coming to Serbia, and the hype has put them in a group with Morocco, Colombia and South Korea.
France:
France is another team that made a military breakthrough in their Women’s World Cup qualifiers, winning all Group I matches against sides from Wales, Slovenia, Greece, Estonia and Kazakhstan.
Their best performance at a World Cup so far was 4th place in 2011, and at the World Cup they were placed in Group F along with Jamaica, Brazil and Panama.
