Although I am primarily a USWNT and NWSL supporter, I have a growing interest in Women's teams from across the globe. This is one of the reasons I am excited for the upcoming European Championships to be held in Sweden. The tournament will last from July 10th to July 28th and will feature the powerful Germans, the stylish French, and the hometown Swedes. The games should be exciting and competitive as this is the last tournament that will feature only 12 teams as the field expands to 16 starting in 2017. Here are the groups...
Group A
Sweden
Italy
Denmark
Finland
Group B
Germany
Norway
Netherlands
Iceland
Group C
France
England
Russia
Spain
I the final will involve Germany and Sweden, as the Germans are the most talented team there, and the Swedes are also a great team that will benefit from great home support. It will be interesting to see if France can finally make a tournament final as they have lost in the semifinals of both the 2011 World Cup, and the 2012 Olympics. Finally I believe England can make a run as long as their offense stays in rhythm. Both Italy and Norway have the potential to have a breakout tournament on the international stage. The tournament begins on Wednesday, July 10 and I can't wait!
