Women's World Cup...why does everyone get the group of death wrong?

Once again, the press is stuffing up the "Group of Death". In the Women's world cup draw, the group of death is being referred to as Group D, which contains, in country (rank) format;  USA (1), Sweden (5), Australia (10) and Nigeria (35).


Sure, a nasty group. But not the group of death. Again, it is more about the variance in rankings of the top 3 teams and the variance between the 2nd and 3rd rank team in each group. Based on my calculations, it is actually Group A which is the group of death, which contains the Host Nation, Canada (8), then China (14), the Netherlands (15) and NZ (19).


All pools, from deadliest to easiest)


Group A - Canada (8), China (14), the Netherlands (15),  NZ (19)
Group E - Brazil (6), Korea (11), Spain (16), Costa Rica (40)
Group D-  USA (1), Sweden (5), Australia (10), Nigeria (35)
Group F -  France (4), England (7),  Mexico (25), Columbia (31)
Group C - Japan (3), Switzerland (18), Equador (49), Cameroon (51)
Group B - Germany (2), Norway (9), Thailand (30), Ivory Coast (64)
