They are only four. Four nations who will compete for the world title and try to succeed the United States, winners 4 years ago. And this time, the American ogresses are not present. They even disappointed by being eliminated on penalties by Sweden in the round of 16. Third in 2019, the Swedes are well on their way. After taking out the defending champions, they beat Japan in the quarter-finals to climb into the last four.
In the semi-finals, they will face Spain. Surprised by Japan during the group stage, the Spaniards set the record straight in the round of 16 by crushing Switzerland (5-1), before dominating the Netherlands after extra time (2-1). This presence in the last four nations in contention is already a success for Spain, which had not reached the round of 16 four years earlier. The two teams will open the ball for these semi-finals this Tuesday, at 10:00 a.m., in Auckland.
The second semi-final will oppose, this Wednesday at 12:00 in Sydney, the host country, Australia, and England. The Australians, who defeated France this Saturday after a stifling penalty shootout, will once again be able to take advantage of the support of their public to try to reach a first world final in their history. However, the task will not be easy since they face the English, reigning European champions. Present in the last four for the last two editions, Lauren Hemp’s teammates finally want to reach the final, which has always eluded them. The dream of both teams is not so far away, only 90 minutes away.
