Qualified teams for Summer Olympics
The World Cup will be used by UEFA to qualify three teams for the 2020 Summer Olympic women's football tournament in Japan. If teams in contention for the Olympic spots are eliminated in the same round, ties are not broken by their overall tournament record, and play-offs or a mini-tournament to decide the spots will be held if necessary in early 2020.
For the first time, as per the agreement between the four British football associations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), Great Britain will attempt to qualify for the Olympics through England's performance in the World Cup (a procedure already successfully employed by Team GB in field hockey and rugby sevens). Scotland also qualified for the World Cup but, under the agreement whereby the highest ranked home nation is nominated to compete for the purposes of Olympic qualification, their performance will not be taken into account. In effect, therefore, eight European teams will be competing for three qualification places.

England against Scotland in the group :o could be a nice match

but any star players at this world cup, well Lieke Martens (just had her transfer to Barcelona, best women's football player in the world, was important for us at european championship which we dutch won) and Marta of course for Brazil (a routine experienced player)

yes we are going to watch this on our golf tour where we can

they already have 2 songs for our dutch football girls, and also our grocery stores filled with either puppets of the squad or a poster of the team :)

when is Scotland England do you know Nicky?

Any former male now female (trans) players involved?

I ask because that seems a talking point in sport right now.
