The 11.30am clash is likely to pull in the biggest UK TV audience of the tournament so far. Manager Sarina Wiegman promised that her Euro 2022 champions are fully prepared for the quarter-final, despite labouring against Nigeria before winning 4-2 on penalties.
Goalkeeper Mary Earps, 30, said: “We love the games, we love the World Cup and we want to be here as long as we can. I really do believe that the best is yet to come.” Captain Millie Bright, 29, and her side will play in front of 40,000 footie-mad Colombians.
Manchester United star Mary, who won the FIFA golden glove award last season, said: “I can see the talent in our team. You have seen glimpses of what we are capable of. We have ground out the results but we know that we can do more.” The team came together to high five at the end of their final training session at the Central Coast Stadium, Gosford, in New South Wales yesterday.
