here's my group winner predictions:
group a
1. canada
2. netherlands
sinclair one of the best players in the tournament and the best in the group will hopefully lead canada to a #1 spot in group a, but the dutch won't be easy
group b
1. norway
2. germany
i think norway has the experience and talent to beat germany.
group c
1. japan
2. swiss
japan will destroy everyone in this group
group d
1. usa
2. sweden
the clearly better more experienced teams of the group. nigeria's best player is a 39 year old or the up and coming 21 year old Oparanozie could be their best now, either way they don't have nearly enough to get out of the group. aussie's a bit more well rounded than nigeria, still not enough to compete with sweden or usa.
group e
1. south korea
2. brazil
costa rica and spain have young squads, i don't see them defeating the more experienced south korean and brazillian teams.
group f
1. france
2. england
colombia doesn't have anyone over 26, one of the youngest squads in the tournament and the mexican squad is not much older. not much of a hope competing with some of the top teams in the world france and england.
