The Women’s World Cup is starting to get serious. Tuesday was a bit of a moving day as four more nations - The Netherlands,United States,England and Denmark - confirmed their spots in the next knockout phase. That means 10 of the 16 spots have been filled as the tournament comes to an end for nations including China and Portugal.
In the biggest drama of the day,the United States avoided catastrophe when Portugal couldn’t quite score with a few late changes,leaving them with a 0-0 draw. Defeat to the Portuguese would have meant it’s all over for the US. Later,in a compelling performance,England destroyed China 6-1 to signal their credentials.
What does this mean for Australia? Their next opponent is Denmark,impressive 2-0 winners in a surprisingly tough clash against Haiti.
That’s all we have for today. Enjoy your night,and enjoy the Cup.
