ICC Women’s Tournament: Handicapping the field

The International Champions Cup (ICC), known for pitting some of the best men’s clubs from around the world against one another, has set up a four-match mini-tournament between four of the best women’s soccer clubs. The tournament will take place in Miami with two games played on July 26th and two played on July 29th, and the North Carolina Courage will be the only non-European squad in attendance. This first version of the tournament is a soft opening of sorts, with future tournaments expected to have eight or more teams from a more diverse group of leagues involved, but for now only the Division 1 Féminine (D1F - France), FA Women’s Super League (WSL - England), and National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL - USA) will be represented.
