Australia players celebrate Caitlin Foord’s opening goal during a 2-0 win over Denmark in the Round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup in front of nearly 76,000 fans in Sydney yesterday. In another Round of 16 encounter, England survived the sending-off of Lauren James to scrape past Nigeria on penalties. The defeat was cruel on Nigeria, the world’s 40th-ranked team, who followed up their impressive performances in the group stage by pushing England all the way.
