GOALFLASHES AND MAJOR INCIDENTS (all times BST)
England Women 0-0 Argentina Women Have your say on the 606 website.
1300: The national anthems have sounded and the players have shaken hands. The pitch, according to Radio Five Live's Jacqui Oatley is fitting for a World Cup match as opposed to the one England played on in the 0-0 draw with Germany in their last game. And now, after swapping ends, Argentina kick-off. 1250: Team news
The pace of striker Eniola Aluko gets her the nod to lead the attack and she will be depending on the guile of England's playmaker Kelly Smith to get the goals to overcome Argentina. 1245: THE QUALIFYING SCENARIO Hope Powell's England Women's team are 15 minutes away from kick-off against Argentina in their final Group A match. England have drawn their first two games - against Japan and Germany - and sit third in their group, with two points. However, Powell's team are confident of qualifying for the quarter-finals with a strong win against a side who were thrashed 11-0 by Argentina in their opening game of the tournament. That said, the qualifying scenario facing England is potentially very complicated - so here goes: England will reach the quarter-finals for definite if they beat Argentina by two clear goals. However, any win will be enough for England unless Japan draw with Germany in the other Group A encounter. If England win by one goal and Germany are held then Powell's team will be level on points with Japan. England and Japan, who drew 2-2, would also have the same goal difference, with goals scored, then disciplinary record, the deciding factor.
