Time to make some predictions.
Group C – Ghana v Australia
To advance from this group, both teams must go all out to win this match. They aren’t likely to get points from Norway. A hard fought win here and a draw against Canada could propel one of these teams to the knockout phase. Look for Ghana to pressure Australia and then hold on for a 3-2 victory.
Group C – Norway v Canada
This will be a great one for fans of Route One football. Look for very direct attacks from both sides with both defenses under pressure throughout. Norway looks to be on the rebound after getting knocked out in the quarterfinals of WWC 03. Canada won’t go down easily but Norway should earn a hard fought 2-1 victory.
Group D – New Zealand v Brazil
After watching what Germany did to Argentina, New Zealand will be defending with 10 players behind the ball. Brazil’s Marta will want to show the world that the Brazilian women are ready to win this tournament. Not for the squeamish – Brazil 8 NZ 0.
Group D – China v Denmark
China will be under a lot of pressure to win at home. Denmark is not an easy opponent to break down. The atmosphere should be electric. This could be the match of the day. China pulls out a 2-1 victory with a late winner.
