England Women topped Group D with a perfect record. They took all nine points, scored eight goals and conceded just one penalty. Overall, England have been improving as they have picked up the pace of the tournament.

Coach Sarina Wiegman and her team started the tournament with narrow victories over Haiti and Denmark, which was not enough to satisfy the fans. It was not until the final match against China that the reigning European champions truly showed their formidable strength.

Nigeria is ranked 40th in the world . However, the team's performance in the group stage shows that their position in the FIFA rankings does not reflect their true strength.

The African representative not only defended solidly (keeping 2 clean sheets in 3 group stage matches), they also knew how to punish their opponents' mistakes to create a surprise when defeating host Australia 3-2.

England will pay the price if they are complacent against this opponent. Nigeria is not the first team to play in the World Cup and reach the round of 16.

In the other match, Australia and Denmark are only 3 places apart in the FIFA rankings. Both teams have shown instability in their group stage matches.

Australia topped the group but they left fans worried with a 2-3 defeat to Nigeria. The absence of key star Sam Kerr significantly affected the co-hosts' attacking prowess.

Meanwhile, the Danish women's team have not performed convincingly in their first three matches. They need to improve their attacking ability if they want to qualify for the next round.
