Women’s world cup 2007 will be held in China. This will be the fifth edition of Women’s world cup. China was the host of the first women’s world cup in 1991. So, it seems that Women’s world cup has come back to its home soil. Women’s world cup will begin from 10 September 2007. England is not a big power in women’s football. It is really very hard to believe that the forthcoming world cup will be the second world cup appearance for England. The first world cup appearance of England was in 1995 where they reached at the quarter final round.
England will play in Group A where they have to face defending champion Germany, Argentina, and Asian power Japan. However, England is improving and seems to be a balanced side. England has to face strong challenge from Germany and Argentina in group stage. I think, it would be difficult for England to qualify for the quarter final stage from group A. Here, I am giving the full group stage schedule of England below:
Group A
| Date | Competing Teams | Venues |
| 11-9-2007 | England vs Japan | Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium |
| 14-9-2007 | England vs Germany | Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium |
| 17-9-2007 | England vs Argentina | Chengdu Sports Center |
England coach has given much focus on the experienced. So, it will be their main advantage in Women’s world cup 2007. Most of their footballers have sheer experience of playing in international level. England team has another advantage and that is, most of their footballers play in English league along with foreign players. Thus, their players can play football all the year. So, English player do not have lack of practice.
