👏🇭🇹 Despite their loss, I’m really impressed by Haiti. Making their #FIFAWWC debut. Les Grenadières put on a solid display. Very strong performances from Dumornay, Mondésir, and Theus.

🇯🇲💪🏾 Heroic effort from the Reggae Girls! A huge point as #FRAJAM ends 0-0. The French face Brazil next, which should be an absolute blockbuster!

Missed all the WWC action today, hearing I missed out on some big games. The highlights package should be a blast!

🟨🟥That is an outrageous sending off. Never a (second) yellow. Bunny Shaw sent off and misses the next #JAM fixture, vs Panama. The Reggae Girls down to 10 with 3 minutes left.

Here’s how Zambia and Japan line up. Chelsea’s Maika Hamano on the bench for Japan. Barbra Banda one to look out for in the #copperqueens XI — saw her score back to back hat-tricks at the Olympics. Zambia making their debut at a WWC, hope they can go far.

All to play for in Group D! The low scoring games in this group mean all four sides have a decent chance to go through to the knockout stages.

#CHNENG 🇨🇳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
#HAIDEN 🇭🇹🇩🇰

#FIFAWWC #BeyondGreatness

England require just a point against China to progress as Group D winners.

China and Denmark currently have the same points, goal difference and number of goals scored. The Danes are ranked higher in the group on head-to-head record after they beat the Asian side 1-0 so simply need to better the Chinese result to go through.

If China and Denmark win, they - and England - will all have six points. Goal difference, goals scored and head-to-head records could come into play. Or, if things are really tight, then also fair play points or drawing of lots.

This could similarly be the case if England and Haiti enjoy success, as it would leave Denmark, China and Haiti on three points.
