Well there have been some surprising results in the last few days. The USA failing to finish off the Dutch. Brazil on the edge of elimination. Olympic champions Canada past the edge of elimination and gone. The Germans getting beat by Colombia. And the Spanish humiliated by Japan, even though they had already qualified.
Let's hope that the Lionesses don't get on the wrong end of an upset tomorrow against the Chinese. They've won both matches so far, but only by a single goal. They look far from the team that swept aside opponents in the early stages of the Euros last year. Is that down to key members of the team being out injured? Is it that the rest of the world are catching on to women's international football and catching up? There are definitely better teams here than at the Euros.
Anyway, just a point needed to top the group and it's Nigeria waiting in the next round.
