As the women's World Cup edges ever closer to the quarter-final stage, picking a winner is becoming increasingly difficult. And the parity on show thus far in Germany has come as a refreshing surprise.
The Germans wore the favourites tag prior to the tournament, especially on home soil, but two narrow wins have hardly inspired confidence. Meanwhile, Brazil, the USA and Sweden have certainly thrown their hats into the ring.
Germany and France have both qualified for the last eight but square off tomorrow in the final group game with top spot on the line. And there is the possibility of an England-Germany quarter-final to weigh up.
Either way, there are some huge games ahead and, with the home crowds embracing the tournament like they did in 2006 for the men's World Cup, the stage is set for more heroics in the days to come.
