Too early to tell. Based on what I’ve seen, either Norway or USA 1 (I think…whoever is playing Norway) in the BB.

While the Zia team did well in the Seniors, the calibre of the field is far weaker than in the BB….I should know…I was in the Seniors, lol

The best team at the World Championships is the team that wins it! :)

I have seen soccer games where one side has had most of the game, and then they lose 0-1. What matters ultimately is the result not how you achieve it.

I think his whole point is that in his opinion the best team are not in the main championship, but in the seniors.

Is the seniors section 'open' or do women have a separate competition so the men have a chance to win something?

That feels like both a parochial and out of date view. Not to mention the Indian senior team, who are down 10 with two sets to go and may yet have something to say about it.
