26th June, 2011 Group A – 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup favourites and host nation takes to the field on the opening day of the tournament, as Germany Women v Canada Women World Cup betting takes centre stage. The Germans and the powerhouse of the women’s international game at the moment, winning the last two World Cups, and they looked primed and ready to win a third. There have been questions over whether or not they will be able to live up to expectations playing in front of their home crowd, and that is because there is no precedence for the current World Cup holders playing on their own turf. However, you would only think that the chances of the Germans pushing forth to success would be enhanced in front of their own fans. They have an incredibly powerful unit up front, which the rest of the participating nations can only envy. Their line will be led by arguably the best player ever to grace the women’s game, Birgit Prinz. She is the leading scorer in the history of the Women’s World Cup and with the power and support behind her of a team which has been together for a long time, there does not appear to be any immediate chinks in the armour of Germany. A third consecutive World Cup win really is on the cards for them, and they start it all off with Germany Women v Canada Women 2011 FIFA World Cup football betting. The interest in women’s football is high in Germany, even to the point where Panini have launched a very successful sticker album for the tournament.

The betting on the match should really go all on the Germans, as they are going to take some stopping. Canada showed up well in the Gold Cup, the qualification tournament from CONCACAF, booking an automatic place in the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup. They won the qualifying competition ahead of Mexico and not only that, the Canucks fired in 17 goals in their five qualification matches, and kept five clean sheets along the way. So the Canucks are going to be a handful in the group, but they should not really have enough weight to battle the supremacy that Germany will have when they take the field. However, history is firmly against them in the head to head record against the German women, as out of nine matches played between the two nations, it has been nine victories for Germany, with the Europeans netting 34 times to Canada’s 10. Canada’s best finish at the Women’s World Cup came in a fourth place finish in 2003. Will desperately want to improve upon their 2007 performance, when they did not get out of the group stage. They are in good form, but you would still expect them to come out second best in your Germany Women v Canada Women World Cup betting.
Germany have landed themselves with a pretty good draw in Group A of the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, and they are expected to top the group. Along with Canada, France and Nigeria. Germany have a lot continuity with their squad and because of their great recent history in the Women’s World Cup, they are the ones to be feared. The development of their youth has been important and you should see a good crop of youth along with the experienced hands go out for Germany. From the back, with Nadine Angerer in goal, and Germany’s player of the year for the last two years, Inka Grings up front, Germany have unrivalled balance, technical ability and power in their ranks. The only question is whether they can put it all together for another successful run. Really they should get through the group stage without breaking too much of a sweat and from then on it will be simply three knockout games between them and another World Cup title. If they win Group A as expected, Germany will play the runners up of England’s Group B in the quarter finals. For your women’s football betting, Germany are the ones to knock of their perch, and while Canada, experienced Women’s World Cup campaigners should give a good account of themselves, it should not be enough to beat the Germans, who will want to give their home crowds a good show on the opening night.
