The 10 teams most likely to win the World Cup, according to paulfennessy21 -
One of two of Ireland’s group rivals to appear on this list, which shows the scope of the challenge facing Vera Pauw’s side. Canada’s players are very experienced at international level — 13 of the 23 players selected have passed the 50-cap barrier. The most notable name in their squad is 40-year-old Christine Sinclair, who has a record 190 goals for her country in addition to astonishingly racking up more than 300 appearances.
The lowest-ranked team on this list, albeit 10th in the world is still a pretty impressive achievement. Australia go into this tournament with home advantage, though they have also been drawn in the so-called ‘group of death’ alongside Canada, Nigeria and of course, Ireland.
