The Lioness of England on Friday moved closer to the knockout stages when the team edged their European counterparts, Denmark in a group D match by an early goal at the Allianz Stadium.
21 year old Music goon and Chelsea player, Lauren James famous on social media with her music HER MUSIC BRINGS TO LIFE scored for the European Champions6th minute into the game from 20 yards thrusting the ball fantastically into the far corner after receiving a connect from R. Daly.
James and Daly incidentally were new introductions into the English team by Coach Sarina Wiegman whose strategies paralyzed the Danish team who could not fulfill their acts of scoring late goals against England. England may dance like the Super Falcons of Nigeria if China fails to beat Haiti in the next game.
