England's Women's World Cup campaign is strong, but manager Wiegman warns against complacency in Nigeria's last-16 tie

Posted : 06 August 2023
England's Women's World Cup campaign has been strong so far, and manager Sarina Wiegman is adamant that her team cannot afford to be complacent going into their last-16 tie with Nigeria. Despite Nigeria being ranked 36 places lower and never having advanced beyond the quarter-final stage in previous tournaments, Wiegman is well aware that the tournament has been full of surprises, with top-ranked nations like the USA, Germany, Canada, and Brazil suffering early exits.
 
England, fresh off their Euro 2022 triumph, are considered favorites to win the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. However, Wiegman is keen to keep her team focused and ready for a tough challenge. She emphasizes that nothing will come easy, and they need to be at their best to overcome Nigeria on Monday in Brisbane.
 
Reflecting on their attacking prowess in the 6-1 victory against China, Wiegman is hopeful that England can pose significant problems for Nigeria. They have the option of utilizing two formations, including the successful back three employed against China. The potential return of midfielder Keira Walsh could also bolster their chances.
 
Wiegman praises Nigeria for their performances in a tough group and acknowledges their athleticism and quick transitions. She acknowledges that every team wants to beat England, so they must not underestimate their opponents. Wiegman plans to exploit Nigeria's weaknesses while being aware of their strengths.
 
Among England's standout performers is Chelsea's Lauren James, who played a crucial role in the 6-1 win against China, scoring two goals and assisting three. Her contributions have made her England's top scorer in the tournament.
 
England is eager to build on their momentum and continue their strong run in the Women's World Cup. With a cautious approach and respect for their opponents, they are determined to secure a place in the quarter-finals and move closer to the ultimate prize.
