The 2019 Women's World Cup is the deepest World Cup ever. Truthfully, there are never more than 8 Gold Medal contenders in any World Cup. Until now. There are now 9 nations who are realistically capable of winning a Gold Medal. And 13 total nations capable of getting to the Semifinal and winning a Bronze Medal. Gold Medal Contenders USA Germany France England Canada Australia Netherlands Japan Sweden Additional Bronze Medal Contenders (Semifinal Contenders) Brazil Spain Norway China Additional Round of 16 Contenders (with an outside shot at a Quarterfinal) Italy Scotland New Zealand South Korea Nigeria Cameroon All Others - Trying to get any Result or an Upset in Group Play South Africa Thailand Jamaica Argentina Chile
Germany as gold medal contenders... as much as I’d like them to be competitive in the WC, I doubt it’s gonna happen lol With Hrubesch still coaching I’d been more optimistic but now we have MVT so let’s see what’s gonna happen then... I mean, will the best players actually play under her or will the stay on the bench/left home like we saw under Jones? I’d love France to succeed, especially because of how good Renard is and I feel like she’s been let down almost every tournament of things she couldn’t do much about
In soccer Germany is always a contender, regardless of gender an age group. Their chances to win can vary but is always big enough that they can not be discounted.
Holy cow the things I’ve seen from Germany this year suggests that they look much better than under Jones but now they get a new coach... she might surprise me but considering that she was head coach of a Swiss team that couldn’t qualify for the WC in a group where Wales I believe was their toughest competitor doesn’t look too good to me
As a die hard Brazil fan for both men's and women's teams, I think in Group C, we should come out runners up to the Matilda's(Aussies), but I don't see us getting past the 2nd round!! A very sad end for Marta!!
So if the name's Germany, you'll be a contender alright I mean the women's team been so poor the last years and 2nd in the FIFA rankings is just a delusion of what the team really can do lol So if the coaches for once can pick the 11 best players to play and play them in a system that makes sense/works, maybe they can surprise as there's some unbelievable talented players in Germany
Nothing to do with the name everything to do with the history, playerbase and organization. Those three are sound in Germany everything else is possible (but perhaps not easy) to change in a fairly short timefram. Same crocodile tears as the Germans fans had before the Euro 2014. Germans fans claiming that their team has no chance just don't have any credibility after that.
????????????? do you mean the men's 2014 World Cup?. Germany usually wins it after every 20 year cycle(so they were long overdue. They did have a ton of players in their prime & Jorige still had his full mental capabilities in tact(obviously something he didn't have in Russia! it was Scotland that beat them in group play. Even though the Scots are only ranked #20th, their CB combo of Beattie & Corsie should be ranked top 10 plus they've got one of the best attacking mids in the business in Kim Littl Other notables, former Bundi & decent winger, Lisa Evans. Former top scoring leaders in the English league, Ross & Weir. Exciting newbies, Esmile & Chubard(spell check). I've always been surprised that they haven't previously done better, glad they finally made it
Lets thinkm logicla here for a moment. I write Euro 2014. SInce there was no European chamionship in Soccer 2014, there must be a mistake in the written. So either I wrote Euro when I meant WC, not a very easy mistake to do. And a bit odd to cahnge a WoSO to BroSo withot mentioning it. Or I wrote 2014 when I meant 2013, which is a more easy mistake to do. Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden, I should have written to to make it clear.
You know, Germany's a team that deserved to go home after a dreadful match against Denmark in the QFs of the Euro's with the worst coach I've ever witnessed. Then somehow losing to Iceland 3-1 the same year before DFB finally took responsibility and fired the mess called Jones. Then they hired Hrubesch as an interim coach but not to actually lead them to the WC where they finally landed on MVT but she had to coach Switzerland so she wasn't available before the last month like 8 months prior to the WC So if Germany could win the WC with a coach who's coached the team for 8 months, I'd genuinely be surprised - If Hrubesch were leading them to the WC, I'd have some faith and hope really SO I see that Germany has a very favourable road to the SFs so they might end up in the top four again if the coaches actually play the best players available which in a 4-2-3-1 system would look like: Maier, Elsig/Doorsoun, Demann/Doorsoun, Simon Hendrich, Leupolz Huth, Marozsan, Däbritz Popp I mean, how this formation hasn't ONCE been tried blows my mind Instead, we've watched the legendary backline: Blässe, Peter, Henning, Kerschowski
Germany has a lot of good players, and certainly some good young players, but they do need to find a better striker than Alexandra Poop.
I’d move Popp back to midfield where she’s excellent But Babett Peter is finally not nominated so I’ll give Germany a chance to qualify from their group now!
