Both teams are contesting their first World Cup finals and have a chance to join the USA, Germany, Japan and Norway in the 32-year-old tournament’s roster of winners.
England made it into the group stage with three wins, followed by victories over Nigeria, Colombia and hosts Australia. They have the very best coach in the world in Sarina Wiegman and up front are Lauren James, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo, all three of whom have scored three goals in the tournament.
Spain was the most dominant side of the tournament, winning all six games with an aggregate score of 21-3. The situation behind the scenes was far less smooth, but the squad looks like a sleeping giant just waking up. Midfielder Alexis Putellas joins the reigning two-time Ballon D’Or Féminin winner, but was hampered by an injury during the tournament.
Sweden have already defeated Australia 2-0 to secure third place in the tournament.
