The United States are the obvious championship contenders every time an international competition comes around, even though this time they don’t have the best players available. However, their exhibition games showed how dominant they can be when they are focused.
New Zealand are going to see the toughest opponent in group C right from the beginning, which could be a good thing for them to properly direct their energy. The goal for them should be to stay competitive when they meet the other teams, Greece and Jordan.
