FIFA Women's World Cup 2023: England so far

England's Lionesses have scrapped their way past a robust Nigeria side to qualify for the Quarter Finals of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

This was very different to the previous routing of China and had more in common with the opening game against Haiti as England were closed down quickly and not allowed the amount of time on the ball that they enjoy.

A disallowed penalty was controversial and a later red card may haunt them now with a key player missing from future games.

However we still have hopes for England whose squad has strength in depth and is built on reliable foundations.

Here is how our predictions for England are looking so far. Alex has correctly predicted England to win every game, although was way off with the scorelines. Meanwhile Kevin has been a good predictor of England's defence correctly identifying the away goals for each game. The random dice are way off!
