Draw For The FIFA 2007 Women's World Cup

The draw for the 5th edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup, which took place last Sunday in the city of Wuhan, has just been concluded, and we could be in for a real tough time. Grouped together with our ladies in Group A, are defending champion Germany, England and Japan. We will provide you some inside information and preview pertaining to the Señoritas Albicelestes, in the future, especially towards the build up of the tournament.



But for now, here is the complete draw:-

Group A - Germany, Argentina, England, Japan

Group B - USA, Nigeria, Sweden, Korea DPR

Group C - Norway, Australia, Canada, Ghana

Group D - China PR, Brazil, Denmark, New Zealand

Now I would just like to share on what a remarkable improvement have the ladies made, since they're historically debut four years ago when the competition was held in the United States.

Having being in the shadows of continental rivals Brazil for many years, the team achieved the unexpected when they defeated them in last year Sudamericano Femenino by 2-0. Though the team has met with minimum requirement to qualify for the World Cup, the most significant importance of that result allowed us to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the first ever in our women's football history.

I was really ashamed that I did not include them in our Best of Argentina 2006 Top 10 review last year, after having just found out what a major achievement it was for us.

VAMOS SEÑORITAS!!!
