England
England are one win away from bringing football home, as they enter the Women’s World Cup final riding a wave of momentum. Their last match was a 3-1 win over Australia, where they overcame a nervy 10 minutes or so to bury the host nation in the second half. Now, England will look to beat European rivals Spain for their first Women’s World Cup triumph.
Lauren James will return for England in this match, which is huge. But the England strike force did just fine without James in the semifinal, with Lauren Hemp delivering a goal and an assist in the second half to push England over the line. It feels like this could finally be the time for England, though this country’s recent history in men’s and women’s soccer suggest emotional damage could be coming instead.
Spain
It hasn’t been easy, but Spain have managed to make it to the World Cup Final for the first time in the history of their women’s program. La Roja have beaten European standouts Netherlands and Sweden in their last two matches, though they have not been as easy as you’d like, as Spain relinquished leads in both matches before taking them late on.
Here, the goal for Spain will of course be to grab another early lead, something they have done a great job of at this tournament. But England will be the best attacking side they’ve seen at this tournament, and Spain will have to make sure to actually hold any lead they grab, or they could never see the lead again.
