Predictions
Expect some action right off the bat as we’ll be focused on Group A, in particular, as we’re divided on how Canada, Cuba and Puerto Rico will fare. 2023’s finalists USA and Japan are unanimous selections to top their groups, with Mexico and the Dominican Republic picked by everyone to advance to the quarterfinals. Every group has a mix of teams pegged for third through fifth, so look for key games daily.
