In the 28 years that the Women’s World Cup has been running, an astonishing 771 goals have been scored.So if history is anything to go by, we can expect few clean sheets and plenty of excitement throughout the tournament.

The beauty of this World Cup is that there is a number of teams who possess the quality to win it.The United States are favourites to regain their crown but other nations stand a great chance. The hosts France, Olympic champions Germany, European champions Holland, the Brazilians and of course England all have sides perfectly capable of lifting the trophy.USA are the current holders of the World Cup5

6. VAR

The game-changing technology proved to be a massive hit at the men’s World Cup last summer and it’s set to provide just as much drama in this tournament.It will also serve as a timely reminder of what the Premier League can expect next season.

5. Lionesses’ form

England go into the tournament on superb form having won the SheBelieves Cup in the United states earlier this year.Their good form bodes well for them going into this tournament and we could be about to witness some more summer magic like last season.
