Reggae Girlz to dance into the last eight
With half of the top 8 teams from the FIFA world rankings out of the tournament, Colombia and Jamaica ranked 25 and 43 respectively do battle for a place in the Quarter finals. It is safe to say there have been more than a few upsets.
For the first of my predictions, I am going to continue that theme. Jamaica have already displayed they are not here to simply make up the numbers.
A 1-0 win over Panama sandwiched by a pair of 0-0 draws with fifth seed France and eighth seed Brazil. The latter result was enough to see them through at the expense of the South Americans.
An incredible achievement for a team that relied on crowdfunding to pay their cost of travel to Australia after a lack of funding from their federation. This journey is not yet ready to end.

Khadija a Shaw bet to get on the scoresheet
In what looks a tight contest a moment of magic, defensive error or clinical finish could be the difference. In Khadija Shaw, Jamaica have a match-winner.
The 26-year-old enjoyed a prolific campaign for Manchester City last season, plundering 31 goals across all competitions. Hitting 20 goals in 22 Women’s Super League appearances at an average of a goal every 95 minutes. Only England’s Rachel Daly scored more.
Although she is yet to claim a World Cup goal it is surely a matter of time. Good in the air and with the ability to shoot with either foot, “Bunny” has all the attributes to fire her nation to the next round.
Odds of 13/5 to score at anytime here don’t do her instinct in front of goal justice.

Goals expected to be in short supply
Jamaica have built the foundation of their success this tournament on their rock-solid defence. They are now the only nation remaining who are yet to concede a goal.
Considering they have played two sides in the World’s top 10 already, that is no small achievement. Illustrating too just how quickly the Women’s game is developing, especially amongst the up-and-coming nations.
Colombia for their part have beaten two-time World Cup winners Germany. Conceding just two goals across their three group games.
These two nations have seen a combined seven goals scored in their six games played so far in the tournament. Under 2.5 goals and NG on Both Teams to Score landing in five of those fixtures.
