England women beat Spain 3-2 in their opening match, getting a little confidence under their belt for some tougher challenges ahead. England have been drawn in Group B of the World Cup, and it is a tough quest for them to navigate. In the group they have Argentina, who are one of the best sides in the world, as well as China and South Africa, both of which can be very dangerous. Korea make up the numbers in the group and should be watched as a strong dark horse. Korea got the better of China in the group stages to get their momentum underway. The group should pan out with England and Argentina fighting for top spot, with Korea looking to mix things up. Argentina, especially being in front of their home fans, will take a lot of stopping here, and should be backed as favourites in your sports betting. They opened their account with a 5-2 win over South Africa, and the big group clash will come when they take on England. The Argentineans will be looking for some revenge after England beat them in the group stages of the Champions Trophy recently. England beat Olympic semi finalists China in their second group match, by a score of 1-0, keeping up the pressure on the Argentineans who play Korea. In a tough contest, which saw some fiery tempers, England prevailed thanks to a strong defensive display after opening the scoring in the very first minute. Argentina won their second match also, beating Korea in a tight 1-0 match.

In the other group, you have the strong presence of the Netherlands, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, India and Japan. This should be an even closer contest for the top spots, but if you are looking for favourites, then you should lean towards the Netherlands. The Netherlands, along with Argentina are probably the two biggest class acts in Women’s hockey at the moment and more likely than not a winner will come from one of those two. But when you throw Australia and New Zealand into the mix, both of which have the potential to go deep in tournaments, then the group is wide open. If you are looking for stats, then the Netherlands have won the World Cup six times (which is the record – Rosaria 2010 is the 12th World Cup), and they have been present at all World Cup tournaments. They have an illustrious record at the sport, and don’t be too surprised to see a mighty Netherlands v Argentina clash in the final. But let’s focus on England and their chances. To be honest, if the progression which they showed at the Champions Trophy recently in Nottingham can be built upon, then they have every chance of reaching the semi finals of the World Cup. They are not going to be favourites to win the tournament, as they still look as if they need an extra edge, especially up front. But they showed a tremendous spirit in the Champions Trophy and are worth a look at in individual match betting. Their toughest challenges in the group will be Argentina and Korea, but the battling qualities they have shown so far at the World Cup should put them in pretty good standing.
