SYDNEY : The Women's World Cup has not seen the best of England, who must play better in their quarter-final clash with Colombia on Saturday, said defender Lucy Bronze.
The fourth-ranked Lionesses survived a scare in Monday's round-of-16 penalty shootout win over a Nigerian side who gave England fits all night."There's no point in playing our best performances in the first games, we might as well save them for the quarter-finals or further than that." The Lionesses will be without Lauren James, their leading scorer with three goals, in Saturday's knockout game after she picked up a red card for a stamp to the backside of Nigeria's Michelle Alozie."The most important thing is that we're coming out of games with wins," Bronze said.
Coach Sarina Wiegman said after the Nigeria win she had never experienced so many problems in a game or tournament. The team also lost midfielder Keira Walsh for a game-and-a-half to injury. She returned to play against Nigeria's Super Falcons.
"Everything that has been thrown at us, we've dealt with and moved forward. I don't see many other teams who've had that adversity and if they had, I don't think they've managed to overcome the way we have.
