This will be the first world cup where the entire England squad is made up of professional players and four of the City women's team will start the match: keeper Bardsley, captain Houghton in central defence, Scott in midfield and surprisingly Bronze on the left of a five woman midfield. I assume there must be some threat from France's right wing that needs countering since she is more used to playing fullback/defence.
France are rated by FIFA as 3rd, England as 6th (though they could be as meaningless as the men's rankings).

Why Toni Duggan didn't start I don't know. I've watched a couple of the games now plus a few WSL games and the key to scoring goals and winning games is all about width and tempo, So of course England and slow and narrow.
Need to step it up in the final two games if they are to finish second in the group and avoid all the decent teams.
