S. )For most, the emphasis is on pitting themselves against other teams who've punched their ticket for next summer's tournament. But with a raft of fixtures taking place over such a small amount of time, which are the ties to look out for? United States pick a stern testThe USA's double-header against Germany (7 p. m. ET Thursday, and 5 p. ET Sunday on ESPN) should be high on most people's agendas as the World champions look to find some stability against a Germany team that's building up a head of steam into the World Cup.
Haiti, the team from South America will be favourites regardless of who they clash with in the playoff Group B final, but staying fresh and making sure everyone understands their roles on the pitch will be paramount for José Letelier. With Paraguay (No. 51) also in playoff action at the start of next year (in Group C), Las Guaraníes will have to overcome Chinese Taipei (No. 40) to make it to the final of the group, against the winner of Papua New Guinea (No. 50) vs. Panama (No. 57). With this challenge ahead, the Reggae Girlz -- led by charismatic striker, Khadija "Bunny" Shaw -- ought to give Paraguay more than a good run for their money and could provide an early look into how the South American team will fare in their playoff group.
Not quite the team they were since winning the 2011 World Cup, the departure of coach Asako Takakura after five fruitless years has given Nadeshiko the chance to hit reset once more. However, they've yet to look like the real deal under Ikeda. With the coach trying to integrate younger players like striker Riko Ueki, midfielders Nanami Kitamura and Hinata Miyazawa into the fold while experimenting with different formations, there is a lack of a clear overarching picture.
With time ticking down to the World Cup, the question isn't so much whether Japan will be ready in time, but rather if Ikeda knows what he wants from this team. Facing two teams who like to keep the ball as much as they do, there is no better time to see if the coach has answers to the bigger questions around their playing style. For Spain, who will spar with Argentina before facing Japan, there are ample distractions off the pitch with the majority of the Barcelona and Basque contingent still missing from the squad due to the dispute with the federation and no clear end in sight.

Canada (played on Friday and Tuesday) should be a good test for the teams representing both sides of the Americas. From Canada's gold medal at the Olympics in Japan last summer, the team has yet to really hit such heights since and balance their attacking prowess with a robust defence -- the key to their Olympic success.
As such, the squad Jorge Vilda has called in has a distinctly young feel to it, with 13 of the 23 born in the 2000s. The coach and his charges would have taken great heart from beating the USA last time out, but Japan will be a different problem for them. A win wouldn't necessarily be building confidence, but with Spain known for struggling to put their best attacking football on display at major tournaments, it could be a road map for their trickiest World Cup group game next summer. An all-European affairElsewhere on the continent, Norway will clash with France (Friday) before taking on England (Tuesday), which will provide new manager Hege Riise some much needed answers as she attempts to rebuild the team after humiliation at the Euros. Still new to the team, Riise is not just without the best two players in the Norwegian talent pool right now -- Ada Hegerberg and Caroline Graham Hansen -- but is trying to bring in fresh talent.
In the third playoff group, Portugal (No. 23) await the winner of Cameroon (No. 58) vs. Thailand (No. 41), which gives more weight to the friendly pair of matches Senegal and Cameroon will play in Dakar -- both African nations are two matches from a place at the World Cup, but neither are considered favourites. This window is the last chance for nations like Senegal and Cameroon to work on their shortcomings before they attempt to join the fun next summer in Australia and New Zealand. Other teams looking for tests in EuropeStill looking for their feet under coach Futoshi Ikeda, Japan are once again in Europe this month as they face England (Friday) and Spain (Tuesday), the latter the last team they'll meet in their World Cup group at the end of July.
How Women's World Cup contenders shape up in the international breakNov 10, 2022Sophie LawsonEight months out from the start of the 2023 Women's World Cup, national teams will be using the last four remaining FIFA windows -- in November, February, April and June -- to prep for the upcoming tournament, with all but four of the qualified teams in action over the next week. - Stream on ESPN+: LaLiga, Bundesliga, and more (U.
Opting to face Colombia (No. 27), who featured at two of the last three World Cups, should provide a stern test and should help the Copper Queens when it comes to playing teams from Latin America as Costa Rica were drawn in their World Cup group. The same ought to be true for Colombia, who will be given a boost playing a CAF team, with fellow African debutantes Morocco (No. 76) in their group next summer. A growing team and another of the next summer's World Cup debutantes, Philippines are looking not just for two strong performances against La Roja, but some much-needed experience as they enjoy a resurgence under new manager, Alen Stajcic, following a sizable period of dormancy. With Chile gearing up for their intercontinental playoff match in February against the winner of Senegal vs.
Three years into Vlatko Andonovski's tenure as USWNT boss and there are possibly more questions than answers around the squad. A pair of losses in Europe (against England and Spain) last month has highlighted the fragility of the once-dominant side, as uncertain wins throughout the rest of the year that papered over the cracks that became the first back-to-back losses endured by the team since the 2017 SheBelieves Cup (where they lost to England and France.

1 ranked team in the world will have to out-play their opposition, something they've struggled with over the past few years. For Germany, who very nearly added to their record eight European titles but lost to England in the final in the summer, their trip across the pond is much more about producing performances that speak to the quality available in their team.
Much like her opposite number, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg is spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting players, but where she differs from Andonovski, the Germany head coach is a little more reticent about making changes when needed during matches. Up against a U. side that will start with as much talent on the bench as on the pitch, reaction will be as vital as action for the Europeans and for Voss-Tecklenburg, who waited until the very last second to go to her bench when she needed to at the Euros.
