So the weeks are counting down to what could be one of the biggest women's sporting events since the Olympics the best of the best put together on one amazing stage set in Sweden.
Over the years we have seen many amazing players come and go from the international games but recently the teams are looking stronger than ever. We have the likely favorites of France and the up and Iceland but this time around there is no clear winner. So many teams have injured players recently due to the busy schedules of the women's game. There has being alto of talk about this and how the leagues have effected the teams but can they really postpone or move games just to fit around International cups? Some say yes some say no but each argument is a good one i suppose its just one of them things we have to deal with in football.
So lets take a quick glance over the teams that will be fighting it out in Sweden..
In Group A we have Denmark-Sweden-Italy-Finland
