While the United States endeavor to make history with their third straight Women's World Cup title, England begin their tournament as one of the world's greatest hopes of dethroning the two-time defending champions, matching up against Haiti to start Group D action.
The Lionesses boast one of the most loaded groups of attacking players in recent memory, stocked to the gills with top-tier Women's Super League players along the front line.
Coming off last summer's epic European title run, England now look to take the next step in their meteoric rise on the global women's football stage with the biggest prize of them all.
Haiti, meanwhile, qualified for the tournament via the intercontinental playoff, taking down Senegal and Chile in the tournament this past February, and are now set for their country's Women's World Cup debut.

England vs Haiti prediction, odds
- Moneyline lean: England (-5000)
- Score prediction: England 7-0 Haiti
England are heavy favourites in this match, which comes as no surprise given they are second-favourites to win the entire competition, up against the 53rd-ranked team in the field.
Haiti are not expected to put up much of a fight, and while they played a close match against South Korea in the warmup friendlies, it's hard to see them competing in this match against such powerful opposition.

England vs Haiti: best bet
- Pick: England -4.5 goal handicap
- Odds: +115 (BetMGM)
Fear for Haiti in this match, a minnow of the tournament against truly one of the best attacking sides this game has seen.
This England side is not afraid to run up the score, pummeling Luxembourg last fall 10-0 in a World Cup qualifier on the heels of dismantling a solid defensive Sweden team 4-0 in the Euro semifinals. They're an absolute force and will know that goal differential is important in competitive environments like this, which could see them keep their foot on the gas all 90 minutes.
