Groups C & D - What to Expect

Back to the predictions drawing board after some poor predictions for Groups A & B.

Group C – Canada v Ghana
I thought Ghana would be competitive this time around but their loss to Australia seems to demonstrate that is unlikely. Can they bounce back against Canada in this must win match? Don’t think so. Canada 3 Ghana 1

Group C – Australia v Norway
A win by Australia would push them up to the next level of women’s football. While the Matildas have made great strides, I don’t think they are quite there. Norway looks ready to grind out a few more results. Norway 2 Australia 1

Group D – Denmark v New Zealand
Denmark faces an up hill battle after their loss to China. To keep their chances alive, they must come up with a big win in this match. Denmark 4 New Zealand 1

Group D – China v Brazil
This is the match of the day. Marta will have everybody’s attention and will need a strong effort against China who’ll have enormous crowd support. Will that emotion help China carry the day? Almost, I think. China 2 Brazil 2
