All the best for 2015! Twentyfour teams -- quite a challenge organisationally. Go for it!

(The time-zones may cause a bit of headache for European audiences, but some games could be played before lunch.)

I know, very exciting! Biggest tournament for the women's game. Yeah, I hope they will work out the best time zones so that audiences around the world will be able to watch some of the games :)

The Ladies´ World Cup was played in USA in 2003 and 2007.

A mark of the times is that Norway and China seem to have vanished from the international football field, while France has popped up. Spain also is on the march judging by their success at ladies´ U-19 and U-17 level. Last year England beat Japan in the group matches (like Sweden beat USA) so maybe England, like France, also is getting going in ladies´ football again 90 years on?

Another team on the rise is Korea Republic. They finished 3rd in the last U20 and won the last U17.

The only possible drive is Ottawa to Montreal. In this WC they're adding 8 more teams I believe. There's going to be a lot of flying! Too bad Toronto won't be a host nation because they are hosting the PanAm Games a few weeks after. That might change as we still are trying to get it to come here. Toronto plans on hosting the Summer Olympics soon. BMO field where the Toronto FC play would be a great venue. It's a shame a lot of people will miss Toronto on their visit to Canada.
