Superstar Megan Rapinoe will have her swan song at the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. The veteran forward and international soccer icon enters her fourth Women’s World Cup having competed for the USWNT for 17 years, scoring 63 goals in 199 matches for the United States. Her stellar 2019 season earned her the Ballon d’Or as the FIFA women’s player of the year, and her six goals for USWNT in World Cup play that year earned her the Golden Boot as the top scorer. Now she laces up one last time as USWNT looks for a three-peat at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
It’s no surprise the latest 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup odds from Caesars Sportsbook lists the USWNT as the +225 favorites to win their third consecutive world title. Notable competition that could upset the reigning champs include England (+375), Germany (+650), Spain (+700), France (+800) and co-host Australia (+1200). Should your 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup picks include the USWNT winning it all, or will the Americans fall short of their ultimate goal? Before locking in any 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup picks or USWNT predictions, you need to see what SportsLine’s Brandt Sutton has to say.

Now, Sutton has broken down the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup draw from all sides and released his top picks and predictions for the USWNT. You can head to SportsLine now to see Sutton’s 2023 Women’s World Cup picks.
FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 predictions
Sutton is backing the United States to make the semifinal at -160 odds (risk $160 to win $100). In addition to their bevy of veteran superstars, Team USA has some up-and-comers on this year’s squad that make them more powerful than ever. That includes 21-year-old forward Trinity Rodman, who scored both of USWNT’s goals in a 2-0 win against Wales on July 9.
The U.S. is expected to make quick work of Group E competing against Portugal, Vietnam and the Netherlands. The winner of Group E will play the runners-up from Group G, and with Argentina favored to top the group, USWNT could face either Italy, Sweden or South Africa in that matchup. USWNT would then face a team from Group A or C in the quarterfinals, and none of those eight teams even crack the FIFA Top 10. This sets up USWNT for a path back to the semifinal in the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
“The U.S. have won a medal in every Women’s World Cup tournament, winning four golds, one silver and three bronzes,” Sutton told SportsLine. “I see history repeating itself again this summer in Australia and New Zealand.” See all of Sutton’s 2023 Women’s World Cup picks at SportsLine.
