Teams to watch out for:

The USA:

The defending champions, the USA have a bigger goal on their mind as they have set their eyes to become the first team in the history of both men’s and women’s football to win a treble of gold at the world cup finals but they will have their task cut out as they are expected to face a tough competition from the likes of Germany, Spain, England and host Australia.

The USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski has named a mix of experience and young blood to fulfil the dream winning the title for the third time in a row. The seasoned campaigners, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe and defender Kelley O’Hara will be donning the Stars and the Stripes shirt for the fourth time in the world cup finals. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher and midfielder Julie Ertz will make their third appearance in these competitions.

Fourteen players on the roster will be gracing the occasion for the first time in their respective careers.

Germany:

Germany hasn’t been at their very best as they have failed to make it to the finals since winning the competition back in 2007. In their last outing in the world cup finals, the two times winner bowed out of the competition in Quarterfinal after losing to Sweden by 2-1. The European powerhouse will look to put behind the disappointment of the Euro final from last summer where they marginally lost to England in the final.

Spain:

Spain never got past the round of 16 in the history of the competition but now is highly tipped to at least make it into the last four of this year’s campaign. With Barcelona’s star player inclusion, Alexia Putellas who happens to be one of the world’s very best, La Furia Roja are expected to spring up a surprise or two this time around.

England:

The reigning European Champions, England are undoubtedly one of the hot favorites to lift the trophy. The Lionesses have got their tails up as they look to take it one step further by capturing global glory this time around. Coach Sarina Wiegman and captain Millie Bright believe their team has the quality and finesse to dismantle any team in the world on their day. But for that to happen, they have to play every game like the final.

Australia:

Led by one of the best players in the world, the Matildas have been on a roll with them beating Spain 3-2 back in February, beating England 2-0 in April and beating France 1-0 this week. And with the support of the home crowd on their back, there is every chance in the world for the girls in Golden to create history.
