Group D: Brazil, Australia, Norway, Equatorial Guinea
The public will be waiting with much anticipation for things in Group D to unfold. One question that has been asked time and time again since 4 years now is whether Brazil can avenge their 2007 Women’s World Cup final fiasco.
But Brazil don’t have any easy task. 2010 AFC Women’s Championship titleholders Australia are set to pose a real challenge to Group D’s contenders. Besides Brazil and Australia, there is also Norway who finished fourth in China 2007.
Three good teams there, vying for only 2 possible spots in Group D. And let’s not forget Equatorial Guinea although the debutants have been tipped to experience nothing more than a short holiday in Germany. In the final of the 2010 Women’s African Football Championship, Equatorial Guinea upset hosts South Africa in the semis only to lose to Nigeria in the final.
During the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the underdogs will attempt to prove that they’ve learned from their mistakes. Their mission, though, seems too hard with the presence of top teams Brazil, Australia and Norway.
