    Despite how common a group stage USA-SWE match is in the WWC, it's only happened once in the OG group stage, in the very first year (1996). I seriously hope it can be avoided this year. It's a 50/50 shot this year.

    Japan and Canada most likely togheter in group A.

    It seems that Brazil automatically go to a group with Netherlands. And chances of USA + Sweden is 50% (who am I kidding? one can already consider it as a fact).
    And Canada go to a group with Japan.

    I can't see why Chile can't be in Netherlands group, because, with Brazil as the only allowed pot 2 team, there can't be two CONMEBOL teams in the same group.

    But why should this affect the chances of having Chile in Group B and not in group A? :cautious:

    Japan is in Group E (Women`s groups are E,F and G). I expect that they will draw Group E first. All three options from pot 4 are possible so that the possibility for Chile in Group E will be 33,3%. If Chile is not drawn in Japan`s group their only option is the USA group because Brazil is in the Netherlands group.

    It might be an advantage for the US to have Sweden in its group because it would eliminate the possibility of meeting Sweden in a quarterfinal (I think)
    Nice work.

    It would be an even bigger advantage for Sweden.

    Have any non-English players been invited to train or play with the England national team that will play as Great Britain in the Olympics? I haven't noticed any. Does this mean that Kim LIttle (Scotland) and Jess Fishlock (Wales), to mention two prominent names, won't play with Great Britain? Wouldn't they have been invited to a camp or two by now? Seems a bit strange as we're talking about two very good players in Little and Fishlock.

    They are training with their respective NT during the international breaks. I don't think the Scottish and Welsh FA like Team GB, they just "allow" their players to participate.

    The plan is one friendly in Europe for Team GB and then they surely will organise a bcd one while preparing in Japan.

    I wonder if, now that Northern Ireland have qualified for Euro 2022, it is possible that some of their players are considered for team GB. :)

    Ok, I know the anser is a "No". I thought that even just wondering was funny! :p

    The FA has cut down the long list to 35 with 26 English players named as the 24 who were on the original list for England France and England Canada plus Houghton and Parris. Therefore there are 9 non English players in the list.

    The only two NIR players worth of a chance are Furness who broke her fibula against Ukraine and Magill. There are better English forwards than Magill imo.

    Oh, I think some of them may be "considered" but I much doubt any will be selected.
