    Good Luck. I like it. I equate it to getting premium steak at a discount.

    Based on my reading, just a few hesitations:
    1) Several injuries to veterans. Their lineup will look a little different.
    2) When I looked at the roster, the # of attacking options isn't as deep as I recall.

    If it becomes a breakout tournament for Rodman, I'll be silenced. GL on the bet, I'll be rooting along.

    One of the few US teams that I do not root for.

    Hopefully they get embarrassed.

    Given that only a few teams have any shot, I'd say +225 looks pretty good.

    I think those odds tell us the USA women are no locks to do the hat-trick.

    I suspect we will end up seeing 6+ realistic contenders emerge during group stages.

    I hope so anyway.

    Date Night #1: New Zealand v. Norway u2.5 (+130)

    Tournament co-hosts New Zealand Women will kick off the 2023 Women's World Cup on Thursday when they go up against Norway Women at Eden Park in Auckland.

    New Zealand are making their sixth tournament appearance, while their opponents have never missed a Women's World Cup finals.

    While the Football Ferns will be dreaming about progressing to the knockout rounds, their first priority will be to claim their first-ever win at a World Cup finals.

    In their previous five tournament appearances, New Zealand have drawn just three games and lost on 12 occasions, highlighting the significant task that lies in front of them in their next three fixtures.

    Their recent form also makes for poor reading, with their last 12 internationals yielding one victory, two draws and eight defeats.

    That sole victory took place in one of two warm-up games earlier this month, as goals from Catherine Bott and Jacqueline Hand guided New Zealand to a 2-0 win over Vietnam before they rounded off their World Cup preparations with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Italy.

    Norway, meanwhile, will be hoping to give a better account of themselves than they did at last year's European Championships, where they were eliminated in the group stage after winning just one of their three matches.

    Impressively, Norway reached the semi-finals in four of the first five World Cup finals, but they have failed to replicate that success in the last three tournaments.

    After suffering a group-stage elimination in 2011 and a last-16 exit in 2015, they managed to progress to the quarter-finals in France four years ago, before they were beaten 3-0 by England.


    We say: New Zealand Women 0-2 Norway Women


    New Zealand will be keen to give a good account of themselves in front of their own supporters, but we think that Norway have the quality needed to get their World Cup campaign up and running with a victory.

    The night (or morning) ain't over. It's the after-party with some drunk girls. If you can't score with a drunk Australian or Irish girl, you're hopeless.... lol

    Reading material to pass the hour away before the next game:

    Women's World Cup co-hosts Australia Women will begin their campaign in front of their own supporters in Sydney when they face Ireland Women on Thursday.
    Republic of Ireland will be hoping to spoil the party as they make their first-ever appearance at the major tournament.

    The Matildas will draw inspiration from the fact that they have progressed to the knockout rounds in each of the last four World Cup finals.

    In their most recent fixture, Australia warmed up for the tournament with an encouraging 1-0 win over France thanks to Mary Fowler's second-half effort.

    Having won nine of their last 10 internationals, Tony Gustavsson's side will carry significant momentum into their opening match, and their backline will certainly be in a confident mood after recording six shutouts in their previous eight games.

    After losing their last three World Cup openers, Australia are looking to begin the tournament with a win for the first time since 2007 when they kicked off their campaign with a 4-1 victory over Ghana.

    Ireland booked their place at their first major tournament with a playoff victory over Scotland after they finished behind Sweden in their qualifying group.

    In October's all-important game at Hampden Park, Courtney Brosnan made a crucial first-half save to deny Scotland's Caroline Weir from the penalty spot, before Amber Barrett came off the bench to score a 72nd-minute winner to secure Ireland a place at the World Cup.



    We say: Australia Women 2-0 Ireland Women


    Although we expect Ireland to put up a valiant fight against Australia, we think that they will be outclassed by the tournament co-hosts, who will be determined to claim an opening victory in front of their own supporters.
