USA are solid all throughout the field. Veteran defender Christie Rampone ensures that USA\u2019s back line keeps their opponents away; Abby Wambach is a goal-scoring threat with 180 goals and 72 assists in 241 caps; and Hope Solo is a solid goaltender with a record 77 shutouts in international competition.<\/p>\n
Germany (+400<\/a>) are the other team with two World Cup titles under their belt. They have the perfect blend of young and experienced talent in their team. Former World Player of the Year Nadine Angerer, Celia Sasic and Anja Mittag provide a solid backbone to the team. Angerer is a solid keeper, while Sasic (57 international goals) and Mittag (33 goals) provide the necessary firepower to win Germany games.<\/p>\n Japan are comfortable being +900<\/a> underdogs heading into Canada. They were in this position four years ago when they won the 2011 World Cup as underdogs beating the highly favored USA in the final. The Nadeshiko<\/em> will have plenty more confidence heading into this year\u2019s World Cup as the defending champions. They\u2019re also on a high after winning their first ever Women\u2019s Asian Cup in May 2014.<\/p>\n Nadeshiko<\/em> don\u2019t have an acclaimed super star to lead the team. But they\u2019re always tough outs due to their emphasis on teamwork and unity. \u00a0Much like their men\u2019s team, Japan have a rich midfield to thank for their success. This midfield group is led by Homare Sawa, playing in her record sixth World Cup. She has 82 goals in 186 caps.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t discount the hosts in the 2015 World Cup. Canada (+1,400<\/a>) have shown that they can be competitive even against the world\u2019s best. They won the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics and were clinical in winning the gold at the 2011 Pan-Americans.<\/p>\n Christine Sinclair will be Canada\u2019s main attacking threat with 153 goals scored on 222 caps. She has a handful of crafty midfielders to help her out in Diana Matheson, Kaylyn Kyle, Sophie Schmidt and Brittany Baxter. Canada will also benefit from a very manageable group featuring China, Netherlands and New Zealand, all far from the level of international soccer powers.<\/p>\n Summer is about to get even hotter with this sizzling FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup. Create a betting account now<\/a> and get in on the hottest soccer action this season.<\/p>\n Switzerland are made up of a core of experienced players, none greater than Ramona Bachmann. She scored a total of eight goals as La Nati went on an unbeaten run (7-0-1) in qualifying for the World Cup. Bachmann is a bulldozing forward capable of fighting her way past defenders, like a female version of the Swiss men’s team’s Xherdan Shaqiri.<\/p>\n If Switzerland are to get past their opponents, it\u2019ll be through Bachmann. She has 32 goals in 59 caps. Switzerland are +8,000<\/a> to win the World Cup.<\/p>\n While Switzerland are led by an excellent veteran in Bachmann, Nigeria (+15,000<\/a>) have a very solid team full of young talent. They secured their trip to the 2015 World Cup by winning the ninth African Women\u2019s Championship in October, winning all five matches. Nigeria won all five matches they played, scoring 16 goals while conceding just three.<\/p>\n The Super Falcons will be a live threat in the upcoming Women\u2019s World Cup with their all-out offense led by two devastating forwards in Desire Oparanozie and Asisat Oshoala. The two combined to score nine of Nigeria\u2019s goals in the African Women\u2019s Championship.<\/p>\n While the two are just each 20 years of age, they\u2019ve had plenty of experience under the bright lights. Oparanozie represented Nigeria at the 2011 Women\u2019s World Cup, 2010 and 2012 FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup and 2008 FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup. Meanwhile, Oshoala played in the past two U-20 World Cups, most recently winning the Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards at Canada 2014.<\/p>\n USA (+250<\/strong><\/a>) win their third World Cup title.<\/p>\n[sc:Soccer490banner ]\nSleepers \u2013 Japan and Canada<\/h3>\n
