Women's World Cup: US favorites, led by Morgan and Rapinoe, face tough challenges in group with Netherlands and Portugal
Posted : 19 July 2023
The United States, a two-time world champion, is the top favorite for another title. With a strong and deep team, they are aiming for an unprecedented third consecutive win, led by legendary attackers Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe.
Despite their past success, the Netherlands is not among the favorites this time. After appointing coach Andris Juncker, they have shown improvement by switching to a 5:3:2 formation. However, they face a tough challenge in a group with the USA and Portugal.
Portugal is entering their first World Cup with an exciting team led by 28-year-old Jessica Silva. They are eager to make an impact, but they are drawn in a challenging group.
Vietnam, in their World Cup debut, is considered one of the weaker and less experienced teams. Their group includes the world champion USA and the runner-up Netherlands, making it a tough test for them.
Hervé Renard, the coach who beat Argentina at the men's World Cup in Qatar, resigned from Saudi Arabia's men's team to lead France's women's team. With a talented squad, France aims to make a strong impression in the tournament.
Brazil, led by the legendary Marta in her sixth and final World Cup, is determined to bring the title home. Despite past eliminations in the quarter-finals, they have a promising new generation of players.
Jamaica, making their second consecutive World Cup appearance, has shown improvement over the years. Led by 26-year-old striker Kadija Shaw, they have a promising future in women's football.
Panama, led by 25-year-old captain Marta Cox, is making their World Cup debut. Under the guidance of coach Ignacio Quintana, they hope to deliver respectable performances and strive for equal pay for the team.
As the tournament kicks off, these teams are ready to showcase their talent and passion for women's football on the world stage.
