SYDNEY: History will be made at the Women's World Cup on Sunday when England and Spain clash in the final in Sydney, with both bidding to win the tournament for the first time.
Now they are down to the last two and it's a final too close to call. Neither team has ever got this far before. British media has been full of references to 1966 - when the country won the men's World Cup for the only time. Chelsea attacker Lauren James is back from a two-match ban for stamping on an opponent in the last-16 victory on penalties over Nigeria.
England are unbeaten at the tournament, but a notable blip for Jorge Vilda's side was their 4-0 drubbing to a Japan team which hit Spain at pace on the counterattack in the group phase. They had numerous complaints, but their chief issue was with Vilda - how strict he was, his lack of success, his tactics and his methods.
