thank God, you said next stage . Its going to be tough, I think Sweden has a strong team too. Hopefully we'll get second and qualify.

Group B is toughest with United States, Sweden, North Korea and Nigeria
`




BEIJING (AP) -Hands down, Group B figures to be the toughest in the women's World Cup.

Three of the sport's five top-ranked teams are in the group - the Untied States (No. 1), Sweden (No. 3) and North Korea (No. 5). Defending African champion Nigeria is ranked only 24, which belies its strength.

The Americans have won two of the previous four world titles - 1991 and '99 - and were bitterly disappointed losing to eventual champion Germany 3-0 four years ago in the semifinals in California. Sweden was the runner-up four years ago to Germany, carrying its own disappointment to China.

Though North Korea has yet to advance beyond the group stage of a World Cup, this might be the year for Asia's top-ranked team. And don't underrate Nigeria, historically Africa's best side.

By an odd coincidence, the group is identical to 2003 when all four were pooled together with the Americans and Swedes advancing.

There was some luck involved in the draw, and also some shenanigans by the world governing body FIFA.

Minutes before the draw - and without explanation - North Korea was place arbitrarily into Group B. FIFA declined to fully explain why, but the positioning guarantees that host-team China cannot face archrival North Korea before the semifinals. After North Korea was placed in Group B, the Americans, Swedes and Nigerians were drawn by lot into the group.

"I just didn't understand it. I was confused,'' Ryan said at the time.

The group opens Sept. 11 in Chengdu with the United States facing North Korea and Nigeria playing Sweden.

The Americans have a rich World Cup history, and this time they'll introduce 12 players who've never participated on women soccer's top stage. Forward Kristine Lilly and goalkeeper Briana Scurry are the only players from all the glory years that included two World Cup titles and Olympic gold medals in '96 and '04.

The United States will play an offensive style built around the penetrating runs and passes of Lilly, Shannon Boxx and Carli Lloyd, and the finishing of Lilly and Abby Wambach. Defensively, the core of Kate Markgraf, Cristie Rampone and Cat Whitehill generally keeps opponents far from the net with Hope Solo likely to start in goal.

Where Ryan's 21-player squad can separate itself is on set plays, particularly on crosses to Wambach and Boxx. Possession and late-game depth and fitness could also be decisive.

"On a gut level, this team feels right,'' Wambach said. "It's the right 21 players heading into the world championship. All of our pistons are firing at the same time. , That's all we can ask for going into the world championship.''

Ryan is unbeaten in 46 games (39 wins, 7 ties, 0 losses) since taking over the United States team early 2005. The only blemish is a penalty kick loss to Germany in the Algarve Cup. The game was 0-0 after regulation and extra time and, because it was decided on penalties, goes into the record books as a tie.

Sweden returns with many of same players from the runner-up finish four years ago. New coach Thomas Dennerby - he replaced Marika Domanski-Lyfors, who has taken over China - is trying to add more flexibility of the Swedish attack, mixing in 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 formations with the traditional 4-4-2.

The veteran team has several players with 100 appearances including two of the world's top strikers: Hanna Ljungberg and Victoria Svensson. Hanna Marklund, Malin Mostrom and Therese Sjogran also have 100 caps. Sweden also has a young, promising striker in Lotta Schelin.

"We know what we are capable of if the conditions are right,'' Ljungberg said.

North Korea is, of course, largely a mystery.

The side is coached by Kim Kwang Min and led by forward Ri Kum Suk, who will be playing in her third consecutive World Cup. Despite its high ranking, North Korea has yet to get past group play in the World Cup finals

"I'm not satisfied with what we have done last year,'' Ri said in an interview on FIFA's Web site. "We will work harder and try to step forward to be one of the top sides in the world.''

The team will include young talent from the side that won the 2006 Under-20 World Championship, hammering China 5-0 in the final in Moscow. They also beat Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, France and Brazil.

Nigeria won the African title last year for the fifth time. The Super Falcons have qualified for every World Cup finals tournament, but have yet to produce. Four years ago they lost three group games and failed to score.

Much of coach Effiom Ntiero's team is back from 2003 including Mercy Akide and Florence Omagbemi. The new face is striker Cynthia Uwak, and a key scoring threat is likely to be midfielder Perpetua Nkwocha.

WWC’07 – Women’s World Cup 2007 team profile: Germany
The Fifa Women’s World Cup 2007 will kick off in China this September, and Pink Football will be bringing you all the latest from the biggest women’s football tournament in the world – starting with profiles of all sixteen qualified teams

Although the world and European Champions recently lost their Fifa number one world ranking to USA, Germany must be considered perhaps the strongest favourites for victory at Women’s World Cup 2007.

Germany arrive in China via a spectacular close-out qualifying campaign, with eight wins from eight matches and a goal difference of 28 from a group that included strong Russian and Scottish sides. Only Russia managed to score against them, grabbing a consolation goal in a 5-1 defeat and then putting two past an uncharacteristically foot-off-the-pedal Germany in the last qualifying match, which Germany nonetheless won 3-2, away.

Germany beat USA on penalties to capture the 2006 Algarve Cup, and this summer they have brushed aside the Czech Republic 5-0 and world number six Denmark 4-0 in World Cup warm-up matches, with two-time Fifa Women’s Player of the Year striker Birgit Prinz hitting her stride and adding freely to her 100+ international goal tally.

Even aside from the talismanic Prinz, World Cup 2003’s Golden Boot winner, Germany have an embarrassment of choice in goalscorers. Twelve different players got their names on the scoresheet during qualifying, including Prinz’ FFC Frankfurt teammates Sandra Smisek, Petra Wimbersky, Kerstin Garefrekes and Renate Lingor, who placed third in the 2006 Fifa World Player of the Year after Brazil’s Marta and USA’s Kristine Lilly, and will once again fill the playmaker role in Germany’s midfield.

Coach Silvia Neid has also included some fresh faces in her squad, like 22-year-old forward Anja Mittag. Neid says of her selection, "I think we have a good blend of young and old players. Each position is doubly filled as there are many players who are flexible." Veteran goalkeeper Silke Rottenberg is still included in the squad despite being ruled out as first-choice keeper while recovering from injury; understudy Nadine Angerer will take her place. "We are in the lucky situation of having two world-class goalkeepers in Silke and Nadine,” said Neid.

Neid only took over the reins of the senior women in July 2005, when Tina Theune-Meyer stepped down following her side’s Euro 2005 victory, but she has long been a fixture in German women’s football. A marquee player herself, she won the European Championship with Germany in 1989, 1991 and 1995 before retiring and going directly into coaching with the German Football Association. Neid served as Theune-Meyer’s assistant in the national set-up, and was in charge of the German Under-19s who won the 2004 world title in Thailand.

Neid is pragmatic in her approach to the upcoming tournament. “I’m happy we made it through qualifying, and without losing a game. That’s always the first task to be completed,” she says. Neid’s next task will be facing England, Japan and Argentina in Group A – what certainly appears to be a favourable draw. While both England and Japan should offer a challenge, it is hard to imagine Germany failing to advance.

There will be more daunting obstacles in the route beyond the group stages. “If we make it to the quarterfinals, we’ll face an extremely tough task,” said Neid. The winner of Group A will face the runner-up of the tournament’s “Group of Death”, which could conceivably be USA, Sweden, Nigeria or North Korea – any one of which could provide a stern test. Nonetheless, a strong and on-form Germany remain in pole position to defend their championship.

WWC’07: England’s chance for glory?[/b]When Women’s World Cup 2007 kicks off Tuesday, more than just the very top contenders will feel they have a decent chance of bringing home silverware. Of the sixteen teams who qualified for the tournament’s final stages, six can be considered “favourites” to win, while more than half the field are reasonably in contention for the top three spots. England are among that group.

The odds-on favourites inevitably include past winners Germany, Norway and USA, plus hosts China, 2003 runners-up Sweden and dark horse rising stars North Korea. The second-tier longer shots include Brazil, Canada and Japan. But as coaches have pointed out, with women’s football providing tighter competition all over the world, upto a dozen teams will arrive in China thinking they have a good chance of lifting the cup – despite the studied cautiousness of their managers.

Fortunately, for the England women that’s not just a case of the usual pre-tournament hype, bravura and ill-conceived self-confidence of the sort that had the England men in Germany last year assuring us after each and every dire performance that it was an anomaly and they were still bound for glory. England, long a nonentity in the women’s game, have assembled the talent and coaching to compete among the very best.

Head coach Hope Powell has been absolutely instrumental in bringing the England team out of the dark ages, but some credit also must go to much-maligned institutions – the FA and the domestic women’s game.

Despite ongoing struggles with financial resources – namely the lack thereof – the clubs that are committed to the women’s game are responsible for developing talent on a scale never before seen in England. For every Man United, who decided they couldn’t afford, or perhaps be bothered with, a women’s team or girls’ academy, there is a Charlton, who, threatened with extinction due to the men’s side’s relegation, fought to find the backing to keep the organisation alive. For every Fulham, who spearheaded the campaign for a women’s premier league then got bored with a poor run in form and led the rush to the exits, there is an Arsenal, committed to long-term development to complement their club’s standing, not straggle along as a poor cousin.

These clubs, most notably Arsenal, Everton, Charlton, Leeds and Birmingham City, have succeeded in turning out some truly exceptional talent - players like Kelly Smith, Katie Chapman, Karen Carney and Rachel Yankey are truly world-class; and particularly in the case of Arsenal, some true winners.

England enters World Cup 2007 with nine Arsenal players in their squad – nine players who last season won not only the domestic treble of League, League Cup and FA Cup unbeaten, but also became the first Englishwomen to win a European trophy, beating the world-class Swedish side Umea IK over a two-leg final to bring home the Uefa Cup. Few, if any, teams competing in this World Cup have that kind of concentrated competitive experience in their squad.

The Germans have a veteran squad of World Cup and European Cup winners, and there is no question England have a long way to go to bridge such a gulf; but they have the resources to do so – as long as the FA and domestic clubs realise they must continue, and improve, their efforts to support the women’s game.

England will meet Germany in the group stages, along with Japan and Argentina, and they know it will be an accomplishment just to make it past the first round. England have, frankly, already surpassed expectations just by qualifying; but they do have an excellent chance of advancing. If they do get out of their group, they will likely face USA – a team they held to a draw here in China in January. Could England conceivably knock out the world number one team? I certainly wouldn’t bet against it. And even if they never get the chance to find out, if they bow out earlier – England can honestly console themselves that they have already come along leaps and bounds – and look set to continue.

Player To WatchCynthia Uwak could hardly believe her ears when the president of her Finnish club FC United Pietarsaari informed her last October that she had been nominated for the FIFA Women's World Player of the Year award . The youngster raced to her computer, eager to check the truth of the news via the internet and banish the lurking fear she might be the victim of a practical joke. However, it was no presidential prank, and the 20-year-old striker spent hours on the phone as all and sundry rang the likeable Nigerian to pass on their congratulations. "It has been a great source of motivation for me," Uwak recently told the official African Football Federation (CAF) website. "It has made me to feel more confident about my abilities and also to look ahead to great heights. My aim now ,

QUALIFYING Results
28 Oct 06 Nigeria 4:2 (3:2) Equatorial Guinea
31 Oct 06 Algeria 0:6 (0:3) Nigeria
03 Nov 06 Nigeria 2:0 (2:0) South Africa
07 Nov 06 Nigeria 5:0 (2:0) Cameroon
11 Nov 06 Nigeria 1:0 (1:0) Ghana

Ghana might be the lowest-ranked of the 16 teams competing at China 2007 but it is their opening opponents who go into Wednesday's match facing the competition's most damning statistic. Australia certainly need no reminding that they approach their tenth FIFA Women's World Cup match without a victory in any of their first nine, and an added incentive for ending this record sequence is that two of those winless encounters have come against the team they will face in the Hangzhou Dragon Stadium.

The history between these sides was created at the 1999 and 2003 showpieces, and their current squads show no fewer then 14 survivors - seven on each side - from Ghana's 2-1 victory at the latter tournament. Five of those were also involved in a 1-1 draw four years earlier, when a sweltering summer afternoon in Boston ended with both sides claiming their first-ever FIFA Women's World Cup point.


Goalkeeper Memunatu Sulemana, captain Adjoa Bayor, and Lydia Ankrah, a late substitute, all represented the Black Queens in both matches, while Cheryl Salisbury and Diane Alagich are the Australians eagerly looking forward to round three. Both Matildas are in no doubt that their nation's miserable FIFA Women's World Cup history is in need of an urgent rewrite, and neither can see any better way of beginning this process than by making it third time unlucky for their African nemesis.


"We're all feeling pretty confident," Alagich told FIFA.com. "They're a tough team to play against, as we know from '99 and '03, but we feel we're a lot stronger and better equipped to face them this time. In 2003, we told ourselves we could win but I'm not sure we really believed it. Now we definitely believe."


'Ghana had a better attitude'
Salisbury is in full agreement, although the long-serving skipper knows from bitter experience that anything less than a performance of guile, grit and guts from Tom Sermanni's side will see their winless streak stretch into double figures. When we first played against them back in '99, we were very young as a women's football nation," she recalled. "So we didn't know what to expect. But in 2003 we should have done a lot better.


"As it was, we went into the game, I wouldn't say half-hearted, but certainly very deflated because by that stage we knew that we needed a miracle to qualify. Whatever the reasons, the fact is we went out against Ghana not giving 100 per cent, I don't think there's any doubt about that. And we were punished for it. They went into the game with a better attitude, I think they were just desperate to win a game at a World Cup, and they deserved it. For the first 20, 30 minutes, they just came at us and we didn't have the energy or commitment to compete with them.


"It took a bit of yelling at half-time to get people's minds on turning things around, but by that point we were already 2-0 down. We scored one and put a lot of pressure on, but we'd left it too late. The way we started the game killed us. Personally, I think it's great we're playing Ghana first at this tournament, and hopefully we can get that monkey off our backs. I don't think the statistics we have reflect the ability of our team at all, but it's obviously up to us to put them right."

Paha backs on-song Queens
While Salisbury and Aligach agree that anything less than three points on Wednesday will constitute failure, the Black Queens go into the game on the back of seven straight victories and are understandably confident of preserving their unbeaten status in this fixture. Coach Isaac Paha certainly believes that his self-assured squad can only draw further encouragement from their historical advantage over a side who clearly hold no fears.


"The 2003 victory has been mentioned, yes, and it should give our players confidence," the former captain and coach of Ghana's men's team told FIFA.com. "I think they are already confident anyway, that comes from the number of matches we have been winning recently and the progress we have been making. But the fact we have beaten our opponents before could certainly be one factor in our favour. I haven't seen much of this current Australia team but I have watched them on video - and I am confident we can match them."


All will be decided in the belly of Hangzhou's Dragon

That ref wicked couldnt he just blow the final whistle when it got to 8

each player scored one . .including the keeper

***** thinkin what would dey do when dey meet the falcons***

Todays  r@pe on the Argie girls was not only Massive but legendary!.

Not only were they R@ped by their german counterparts, but what intrigues me is the fact that the Argy girls were ganged Raped in a lesbianic fashion 

So this kind of of Rape is called The Lesbianic Rape . dainggggggggggggg 

this is shocking even though it is women's football . Heard Argentina only conceded one goal in the qualifiers.

Lets hope for the best for the falcons tomorrow.

Four years ago, Nigeria arrived in the USA with a fearsome reputation after winning yet another African championship, but fell well short on the world stage with three straight losses and no goals scored.

This time around, on the eve of China 2007, the situation looks eerily familiar. The Nigerians edged past up-and-coming Ghana to secure their seventh African crown, scoring seemingly at will against less formidable continental opponents than the Black Queens. Futhermore, in a strange twist that must create a real feeling of déjà vu, the Super Falcons find themselves up against the very same opposition as four years ago: favourites USA, world runners-up Sweden and Asian dark horses Korea DPR.

The obvious question begs asking: are the fragile African champions heading for another rude awakening on the world stage here in China? For Perpetua Nkwocha - captain and veteran of the side that shipped 11 goals in three defeats at USA 2003 - the answer is simple. "The World Cup in the USA is over," the experienced striker told FIFA.com from the team's final training session before opening against the Swedes. "We are a totally different team from that one and we are stronger, better prepared and ready to show what we can do. We are motivated by what happened four years ago and determined to show the world who we are."

Uwak emerges
One new element in the team is Nkwocha's young strike partner, Cynthia Uwak. Short-listed for FIFA World Player of the Year, the jet-heeled powerhouse, who so impressed at last year's FIFA U-20 World Cup in Russia, will be more than a handful for Group B's fancied favourites. "Some important players from the past have gone now, but we have exciting youth in the team like Cynthia (Uwak) and this will pose a big problem for Sweden first, then the USA and North Korea," Nkwocha warned. "She will be hungry to make a name for herself at this World Cup as will our many other young players."

Uwak and Nkwocha combined to score no fewer than 13 goals in five continental qualifiers on the road to China and their understanding will be key to hopes of success here in the Far East. The fact that Nigeria have only ever won two matches from 13 over four FIFA women's finals is not something that is worrying Nkwocha and her team. It is, however, acting as a source of motivation.

"The so-called big teams will be foolish to underestimate us this time around," she said. "We are not a team to be taken lightly. We have been preparing for a long time and we take our football very seriously. We will do everything in our power to make sure we do not perform poorly this time out." If Perpetua's determination and confidence count for anything, China 2007 could well be the stage for Nigeria's women to tear up their reputation as a paper tiger and roar for the first time on the world scene.

We neva play yet abi?
