Game

A battling performance, an own goal, and several fine saves by Rachel Brown was enough to get the team into the 2007 finals in China.

England are in the World Cup finals for the second time. They reached the quarter-finals in 1995.

France beat England 2-0 on aggregate 4 years ago to reach the 2003 finals

The UEFA head to head rules made this match more difficult for England, who had a vastly superior goal difference than France, and were 3 points ahead.
