As the upcoming Olympic women's soccer draw day approaches, the mystery of our women's soccer team's opponents will be revealed! The Brazilian women's soccer team has managed to jump up to the second slot, and the range of potential opponents for our women's soccer team has widened to a total of 10 possibilities, of which 80% are likely to be in the same group as the U.S. women's soccer team!
The groupings are as follows:
First tranche: United States, Netherlands, Japan
Second tranche: Sweden, United Kingdom, Brazil
Third tranche: my country, Australia, Canada
Fourth tranche: Zambia, New Zealand, Chile
In the first slot of the selection, our women's soccer team needs to follow the principle of avoidance of the same continent, so it will not be grouped with the Japanese women's soccer team, and the potential opponents are locked in the United States and the Netherlands. If they are grouped with the United States women's soccer team, there will be the following eight possible grouping scenarios:
Possible grouping scenarios:
1. Our country, the United States, Sweden, Zambia
2. Our country, the United States, Sweden, New Zealand

4. Our country, the United States, the United Kingdom, Zambia
5. China, United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand
6. Our country, the United States, the United Kingdom, Chile
7. Our country, the United States, Brazil, Zambia

The situation will be clearer if we are in the same group with the Netherlands women's soccer team! The second group of opponents will follow the principle of avoidance of the same continent, and the Netherlands and Brazil will be the first two opponents of our women's soccer team. Therefore, if we are in the same group with the Netherlands, the situation will be simplified to the following 2 kinds of grouping:
Possible grouping scenarios:
