Dave1962

In the overall standings table, NY Liberty are seven places higher than LA Sparks, having played one game more. NY Liberty won on their last visit to LA Sparks. With LA Sparks losing four of their last five home games, another away win for NY Liberty looks a distinct possibility.

Haydon Pinhey has been playing in the qualifying school, while this is the first match Kyren Wilson has played since the World Championship. Wilson is ranked ninety-one places higher than his opponent, and the former world champion should get the better of his opponent, who has lost six of his last ten games.

Irina-Camelia Begu has won her last two matches. Both of those opponents were ranked in the top eighty. Venus Williams is now ranked over four hundred and fifty, has lost her last eleven matches, and is no longer the force she used to be.

Brazil last won the World Cup in 2002, and with no players like Pelé and Ronaldinho they will probably fall short again. They qualified in fifth place with the same number of points as Paraguay. Morocco are ranked two places lower than Brazil in the FIFA rankings. Morocco were awarded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy following the antics of Senegal. If Brazil fail to fire in their opening game against Morocco, then there is every chance Morocco will go on to win the group. Having already selected Morocco to beat Brazil in that game, it is only logical to select them to win the group.

Two games into the new round of matches and both teams remain unbeaten. The last time the Roughriders welcomed the Argonauts, the home side won. The Roughriders have won four of their last six home games, while the Argonauts have lost four of their last six away games.

Once again, the English fans will be full of hope that their team can win this tournament for the first time since 1966. They have the players to achieve this. In qualifying they won all eight games, scoring twenty-two goals and conceding none. If they can again be a team that is difficult to break down, the England team have a good chance of winning this competition.

For England to win the tournament, they will probably once again be relying on Harry Kane to be the main goalscorer. In addition to any goals he scores in open play, if any penalties are to be taken he is the player the team look to to take the spot kick. He has been in great form for Bayern Munich, so hopefully he can come away from this tournament as top goalscorer.
