The two footballing nations have been pittied together for a mouthwatering showdown in Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, with a place in the last-eight of the tournament at stake.

The Super Falcons, on the other hand, could only picked a second place spot behind co-hosts Australia in Group B after collecting five points from their three group games.

Our qualities have shown through since we've been playing together. I think we are in a good spot, said Earps
I don't think we fear anyone in general. I'm glad it happened for us [on Tuesday].
Should Waldrum's side beat England (ranked 4th) in Brisbane, they would play against either Jamaica(43rd) or Colombia (25th) in the last-eight.
