Bright's aerial dominance, decisive defending, brave blocking, and no-nonsense ability to start attacks makes her more than capable of combatting the threat of arguably the world's best striker, Sam Kerr. Speaking of tempo, Georgia Stanway is an unyielding force in the midfield. Commonly described as a box to box midfielder, she reads the game well and can change the outcome in an instant.
The industrious Australian midfield pairing of Kyra Cooney-Cross and Katrina Gorry have developed a strong partnership that has improved over the course of the tournament. Both players pose threats and will certainly be disruptive to England's build-up play. But England have proven they're an adaptable team and Weigman will ensure the team are well prepared.
