England v Colombia. Lionesses v Powerpuff Girls. This Saturday. Stadium Australia. Quarter Finals. This is going to be EPIC.
The England Lionesess will go head-to-head with the Colombian Powerpuff Girls for a chance to go through to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ Semi Finals and a shot at advancing to the world’s grandest stage.
On Saturday 12 August, Stadium Australia will host one of four Quarter Final ties in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™. The venue will host Group D winners and reigning Euro Champions, England and Group H winners, Colombia.
England are coming into the tie with Colombia off a nervy win in their Round of 16 contest after Nigeria took them all the way to Penalties, a game in which the Lionesses found themselves playing with 10 players for the final 40 minutes.
