Top 10 names are pretty safe, the full top 25 in the article is more interesting

Aye, best of luck, obviously not too much but should be a great game. Nice to see you guys in a finals.
Can't see us getting a result but reckon we will give you a great game. Kim Little, Caroline Weir, Erin Cuthbert all in great form. When you are scoring goals like this in the warmups the confidence has to be there right?

I think they definitely have a solid shot at winning the whole thing.

Could happen, but will definitely be a very different tournament from the Euros... and there's some concern about the Dutch defense. But they'll score some goals, I'm pretty confident on that

Kind of annoying that there's a full round of men's Euro qualifiers tonight and tomorrow, plus a couple of Nations League games.

Didn't go well last time they faced each other in their first game of an international competition (Euro 2017, they lost 6-0). Hopefully goes better this time !

+ Copa America, Gold Cup and AfCON starting in June as well. The worst is the Copa America final happening literally at the same time as the WWC final...

A bit weird to not start Gauvin upfront. Apparently she was late to training so this is a sanction. I don't particularly like her style so not too bummed but this isn't the time to experiment imo...

Anyway, I can't wait for it to start and actually go to some matches ! Allez les bleues !

Korea really only has the one scoring threat in So-Yun and it seems like they're having a tough time reliably getting past the halfway line there

For someone that only really watches soccer during the world cup, I can already tell VAR is going to be a nightmare.
