Dave1962

NY Liberty are top of the table, while CHI Sky are one place off the bottom. NY Liberty have won on their last four visits to CHI Sky.

MIN Lynx have won on their last nine visits to LA Sparks. They are currently top of the table. LA Sparks have lost three of their last four home games.

After the first set of games, the table is level following two 1-1 draws. Switzerland are the higher-ranked team by forty-five places. A win for either team will put them in a strong position to reach the next stage of this competition. Switzerland were much the better team when playing Qatar. They will be kicking themselves after allowing Qatar to score deep into added-on time. They should be the more dominant team again in this game. Having got over first-game nerves, take the Swiss to get the win.

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.

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.
