Spain’s route to the final
Spain entered the tournament as one of the favourites. Despite their less-than-stellar track record and the lingering controversies from the past year.
Drawn into Group C alongside Japan, Zambia, and Costa Rica, Spain began their campaign with a decisive 3-0 victory over Costa Rica. They then continued their momentum by overpowering Zambia with a resounding five-goal triumph. However, their stride was interrupted by Japan. They suffered a 4-0 defeat while nevertheless securing their progression to the next stage in the second position.
In the Round of 16, Spain triumphed over Switzerland with a convincing 5-1. Their path to the semi-finals became more arduous when they narrowly overcame the Netherlands 2-1 in extra time. Lastly they secured their spot in the final by beating Sweden also 2-1. The latter had surprised everyone by defeating the defending champions, USA. Spain has previously never reached a Women’s World Cup final as they have never made it past the round of last 16. Hence the La Roja will give it everything on 20th August.
The player to definitely keep an eye on is Salma Paralluelo. Shifting from a background in sprinting to assuming the role of a left-winger. Salma etched her name into the annals of the Women’s World Cup by netting the latest game-deciding goal against the Netherlands. She also played an essential role in the match against Sweden. In the 81st minute, Paralluelo unleashed a forceful right-footed strike, propelling Spain into the lead. However, a mere two minutes before the end of regular time, Sweden equalised. In a swift sequence of events, Spain’s Codina seized the ball on the outskirts of the Swedish penalty area and unleashed a formidable shot that sailed beyond Sweden’s keeper Musovic.

England’s Route to the final
Current European champion England was drawn into Group D together with Haiti, Denmark as well as China. The Lionesses start in Group D was not very convincing, securing a narrow 1-0 victories against Haiti and also against Denmark. Their form seemed to improve as they comfortably defeated China 6-1, advancing to the round of 16.
Yet, their progress was in jeopardy during the knockout stage’s first round. They narrowly escaped elimination against Nigeria. Throughout regular and extra time, the Lionesses were largely outplayed, aided by Lauren James’ red card. They only managed to advance with a 4-2 penalty shootout victory. Afterwards their performance saw a slight improvement in the quarter-finals, as they rallied from being a goal down against Colombia to secure a 2-1 victory and secure a thrilling encounter with co-host Australia. In an action-packed match the Lionesses defeated co-hosts Australia 3-1 to earn their first place in a World Cup final in history.
Defenders rarely seize the spotlight, but with England encountering difficulties on the offensive front, it’s time to applaud Alex Greenwood for her exceptional displays. Alongside Jess Carter and Millie Bright, Greenwood forms a formidable back three that deserves immense recognition. Greenwood has commanded more touches than any other player in the tournament thus far, and her prowess in interceptions is unmatched, underscoring the significance of her contributions.
In addition Lauren James is available again for the final following her red card and hence two-game suspension. Having the talented Chelsea player back can be a morale lift for the Lionesses but also presents a challenge for coach Sarina Wiegman in terms of squad selection, as they have successfully advanced in the previous two rounds without her contribution.
