I can't help but get excited to watch the US Women take on the "Group of Death" just as the US Men did during the World Cup just a year ago.  The main difference between the men's team and women's team is that the women are not underdogs as the men were last year.  However, the road to the final will not be a walk in the park as it has been in the past.  With the pool of teams expanded from 16 to 24 this year, there seems to be no clear favorite to win it all.  Thus, you have to stay tuned in to find out if American will be victorious.
