Tonight in Nice, Japan and England face off for the top spot in Group D. The stakes are high: securing the most favorable opponent possible.
England returns to Nice ten days after their debut against Scotland (2-1). They will face Japan, one of the World Cup favorites. However, the Japanese team dropped some points against Argentina (0-0) and find themselves in an unfavorable position.
Tonight’s match will be like a final. The English team will want to secure first place and face the third-place team from Group B, E, or F. Needless to say, this task would be easier than for the second-place team.
Because if the Japanese team doesn’t finish first, they will face the winner of Group E. The top spot is being contested between the Netherlands and Canada.
The kickoff for the match will be at 9 PM, at the Nice stadium (Allianz Riviera).
