Sorry writing in English as I'm from Malaysia.
I'm looking forward to this tournament even though the absence of team USA might have taken the gloss just little bit. But still there is all to play for.
It must be exciting to see just how the Dominican Rep are going to fare with present of such world class talent. I will be surprise if they missed out on the trip Turkey next year. Brazil as always will bring their best and surely they would want to make up for missing on last year's Olympic. The host will look very dangerous plus Venezuela, Canada or even Mexico.
In the meantime, please check out my preview of the tournament. Your comments will be highly appreciated
