Norway winger Guro Reiten has acknowledged her side's outsider status at the Women's World Cup starting this month but warned against underestimating the former champions at the tournament.
"In the quarter-final against England, we lost to a better football team, but I hope this year we can be even more competitive and go further."

Norway will face World Cup co-hosts New Zealand in the opening match of the tournament on July 20 at Eden Park in Group A and Reiten is convinced they are ready for the challenge.
