I must admit that I thought England's win over Denmark this morning was enough to see them progress to the next stage - but apparently not - yet.

If they lose by two goals against China, and Denmark beat Haiti by the same margin, then they are out. Possibly the only thing in their favour is that none of the teams in the group seem capable of scoring more than once in a match. I haven't a clue what happens if both China and Denmark win 1-0 though - three teams equal on points with the same goal difference and the same number of goals scored...

It will come down to fair play points, i.e. the fewest yellow and red cards. China have had a red card so far, Denmark one YC and England two YCs. All a bit tight.
After that they draw lots.
 
Complete form reversal for Norway in the Women's world cup - going from no goals in two matches to six in their third, helping them take second spot ahead of the Kiwis.

If it were racing instead of football, I'm sure there'd be a steward's enquiry...

The only steward's enquiry would be why Hannah Wilkinson is always being picked. Again she ran around a lot, usually to where the ball wasn't, but didn't do much else.

Did she change her name from Ignacio Pussetto?

A bit of shock result from Japan now - thumping Spain 4-0. I doubt too many would have seen that coming...
 
England did well to get through with some comfort.

Canada, Brazil, Italy and now Germany all out whilst the USA just about got through.

Germans suffering flash backs to 2018 and the Mens world cup.
 
Six added minutes at half-time. Is the new timing kicking in?
Yes although not sure it was warranted as Southampton were dominate so there wasn’t a lot of time wasting .

Suspect the ref wanted to just show he was up to speed with the guidelines.

Couple of bookings for kicking the ball away but how long will that last !
