I am rooting for our home country to go past the first round
USA can still win this but if not, then it will be one of the top European teams.

The first thing I have noticed is the incredible diversity among the teams. There are a total of 32 participants and all the (inhabited) continents are adequately represented. The only missing super-power is Great Britain. My country (India) also failed to qualify, but that was expected. Another thing I have noticed is that the vast majority of the teams have fielded native players, with only a very few including naturalized players (one exception is Italy).
