The Women’s World Cup kicks off on June 7 as hosts France take on South Korea. Group A is pretty friendly to France in that there’s three teams they should be able to beat, but it’s also tough in that every single one of them can put up a fight and potentially give France a scare. You’d be smart to pick France topping group, but as to who will take the #2 spot, that’s a harder puzzle to piece together.
