FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 Quarter-final
The Women's World Cup continues on Friday, with the quarter-finals set and some big names still in the running. The Women's World Cup quarter-finals have been determined, as England prepares for Saturday's match against Colombia in Sydney.
Spain vs Netherlands
This is a mouth-watering contest between two European heavyweights, and it has all the makings of a great fight. Spain is loaded of offensive class and flamboyance, but they face a powerful defense in the Netherlands that has only conceded one goal all tournament, and that came against the United States. Spain may look to curb their ultra-attacking style of play, knowing the threat that the Netherlands provide moving forward and the potential ramifications of blowing a lead against such a formidable side.
Japan vs Sweden
Japan defeated Norway in regulation and simply had to travel from Wellington to Auckland. Sweden had to fly from Melbourne to Auckland.
Sweden can still qualify for the semifinals, but the circumstances surrounding the game and Japan's amazing form will make it impossible.
Australia vs France
In Australia, the match versus France will be televised live and free on Channel 7 and streamed live on 7 Plus. Check your local listings to see which channel 7 will be showing the game.
Alternatively, for the tournament, all 64 matches will be accessible to watch live on Optus Sport, with replays, mini-matches, and extended highlights provided for each fixture on the platform.
England vs Colombia
England advanced to the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 after defeating Nigeria on penalties. The defending European Champions are still on track to complete an international double, but they will have to beat tournament underdogs Colombia in the last eight.
