Aussie coach quits after making history with minnows; Matildas to discover next rival: WC LIVE
Tuesday night is a massive evening of action in the Women’s World Cup, with two of the competition favourites the United States and England in action.
Both sides are looking to secure their progression from the group stage, but could still be eliminated if results go against them!
The US face Portugal at 5pm AEST, the same time as Vietnam faces the Netherlands.
The US and Netherlands are both on four points, with Portugal on three and Vietnam zero.
But at halftime, the US have been held goalless by a remarkable performance from debutants Portugal, who have never even made it out of the group stage of a European Championships let alone a World Cup. And the Netherlands are leading Vietnam 5-0, meaning they’ll progress in top spot as it stands.
Then at 9pm, England face China while Denmark play Haiti – with all four teams still able to progress.
England have six points and Denmark and China three, with Haiti on zero. The team that finishes second in the group will play the Matildas next Monday night.
