Of all the England World Cup teams I have watched, these ladies stand out as the best team. They’ve played better without their young phenom, and they’ve handled more game pressure (vs. the Aussies backed by a mostly hostile 75,000 crowd). They can do it.
Spain have also pulled together as a team, after perhaps more turbulence than England have faced. They’ve played some really good football, too. Their star player, Alexia Putellas, hasn’t had a great tournament, but their teenager, Salma Paralluelo, has more than made up for that. They can do it, too.
I think it will be a close game and has the potential to be an absolute classic.
Guess we’ll find out early tomorrow.
