09/07/2007 - Shanghai, China (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Germany opens defense of its World Cup title on Monday against an Argentina side that is making just its second appearance in the competition.
The team Germany brings to China for this year's competition is just as strong as the one that captured the crown in the United States in 2003. The Germans will once again be lead by top striker Birgit Prinz, who scored eight goals during the team's qualifying campaign.
Midfielder Renate Lingor and defender Kerstin Stegemann also bring a wealth of World Cup experience to the team in addition to their quality play.
Head coach Silvia Neid's side will also feature a number of players who are making their debut on such a large stage, including goalie Nadine Angerer, who is taking over for longtime starter Silke Rottenberg.
Defender Annike Krahn, striker Anja Mittag and midfielder Simone Laudehr are among the first-timers who should shine on a German side that is filled with strong players.
Germany is the favorite to advance from Group A, which also includes Japan and England.
Germany has every intention of returning to the World Cup final to defend its crown, but it must first take care of Argentina to get its title defense underway.
Argentina is a side that does not carry such lofty goals, but one that is looking for signs of improvement.
The South Americans were hammered in their first World Cup campaign in 2003, losing all three games by a combined 15-1 score.
This time around, manager Carlos Borrello is eager to see how far his team has come over the past four years, while attempting to possibly squeeze into the second spot in the group.
The team received a jolt of confidence from its performance in qualifying, which included a 7-0-1 record and its first ever win over rival Brazil.
That win already proved this is a team that is not here to just make up the numbers, but one that plans on competing.
Goalkeeper Romina Ferro, midfielder Marisa Perez and striker Mariela Coronel were members of that first World Cup team, and will bring that experience to a team that boasts newcomers Eva Gonzalez and Maria Potassa.
Argentina may be improved, but it is nowhere near the class of Germany, which should easily handle its South American opponents and begin a lengthy run toward another title.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
