Do you expect they'll win the Cup in those jerseys?

To those of you who follow the women's game, how would you handicap this year's World Cup?

I really enjoy watching the US, and I particularly like the play of Heath, Ertz and Lavelle. I'm looking forward to the games this summer.

I think this year's team is strong

There are the obvious teams to compete with Japan/Brazil, but I really like our chances this year.

I really like the mix of veterans and youth on this squad, which I think will pay some dividends for the next few cycles. I think the past few teams were too skewed to the veteran or youth side, and they finally found a good balance.
It's a better and more balanced squad than 2015

There's not a lot of weakness in that roster.

And I'm really looking forward to seeing how Alex Morgan plays while healthy in a WC. I think she could end up scoring a lot of goals.
