I think Li Xiaoxia will win ;-)

Oki I decided to let you know why which player was invited to play in this years World cup (women)..
Li Xiaoxia was invited as she won World Championships.
Ding Ning was invited for winning the Asian Cup.
Yu Mengyu and Feng Tianwei were invited too for their places in Asian cup (3rd and 6th), but they had to withdraw because of injury.
(yep, bad luck, both injured)
Their places took Chen I-Ching From Chinese Taipei and Seo Hyowon from Korea.
Liu Jia - Europe cup winner.
Dina Meshref - African cup winner.
Caroline Kumahara - Latin American cup winner.
Zhang Mo - North American cup winner.
Lay Jian Fang - Oceania cup winner.
Victoria Pavlovich - 2nd at Europe cup - After her withdrawal japanese Kasumi Ishikawa took her place in the squad ;-)
Li Jiao - 3rd at Europe cup.
Ri Myong Sun - 4th at Asian cup - She couldnt accept the invitation and therefore she was replaced with Sayaka Hirano from Japan.
Lee Ho Ching - 5th at Asian cup.
Seok Hajung - 7th at Asian cup - She couldnt accept the invitation and therefore she was replaced with Jiang Huajun from Hong Kong.
Petrissa Solja - 4th at European cup.
Jiaduo Wu - 5th at European cup.
Georgina Pota - 6th at European cup.
Iveta Vačenovská - 7th at European cup.
Margaryta Pesocka - 8th at European cup. But - Margaryta was unable to accept the invitation, Hu Melek from Turkey took her place.
This has some irony in it, because Hu Melek had almost no chance to attend Womens World cup after she lost in straight games to Margaryta Pesotska at the European Cup Still this way she took her ticket to the World cup. Organisators hope it was a good choice as Hu Melek was the only european woman to reach quarter finals in Paris 2013.
And finally - Wild Card - Elizabeta Samara.

So that is for the line up of the Womens World cup 2014

I am going for a long shot but routing Feng Tianwei all the way. I have this feeling the plastic ball may cause some upsets. I am really excited for this tournament. Great posts @Michal_Z!
