England are still involved Down Under and Sarina Wiegman’s side have made it safely through to the last eight following an almighty scare against Nigeria in the Round of 16.
The Lionesses are now just two games away from reaching their first ever World Cup final, which takes place in Sydney on August 20.
But which other teams are still left in the Women’s World Cup and which have been knocked out?
Let’s take a look at the sides still going strong and those who have already packed their bags for home.
Which teams are left in the Women’s World Cup?
England are still going strong following their dramatic penalty shootout victory over Nigeria in the Round of 16.
The game, which saw Lauren James sent off for a stamp in the second half, finished 0-0 after extra-time and thus the tie headed to spot kicks.
Georgia Stanway skewed England’s first effort, but following two misses from the Nigerians, the European champions were faultless from their on-in with Chloe Kelly scoring the winning effort.
Spain had earlier become the first nation to qualify from the Round of 16 following their dominant 5-1 win over Switzerland.
Their quarter-final opponents will be the Netherlands, who edged out South Africa 2-0 in their last 16 clash.
Japan, who have emerged as the favourites to win the World Cup owing to their impressive performances over the past fortnight, are also into the quarter-finals having beaten Norway 3-1 in the Round of 16.
The 2011 winners will face Sweden in the next round, who beat double world champions USA in a dramatic penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw after extra-time.
