England v Norway: Six reasons to be aped up for Women's World Cup quarter-last

The tie in Le Havre, is relied upon to draw the highest UK TV group of spectators for a women's football match - 6.9m saw England beat Cameroon.

With England through to the Women's World Cup quarter finals, football could well and genuinely be getting back home. Here are six reasons to be aped up for England v Norway.

1 - Be a piece of the conversation

At the point when the town postmistress asked me about England's next match, I realized this World Cup was taking off.

England v Norway is almost sure to draw the highest UK TV group of spectators for a women's football match, beating the 6.9 million who saw England see off Cameroon to fit the bill for this quarter-last.

It will be on the enormous screens at Glastonbury.

2 - England's young guns

Watch out for rising talents Beth Mead and Georgia Steinway.

It was Steinway who tweeted Glastonbury organizers, checking if her gig-going sibling would almost certainly see the game.

The Manchester City forward, 20, started her first World Cup game against Japan last week and made an objective inside a fourth of 60 minutes.

The other energizing youngster fans clamored per-competition to see a greater amount of, Arsenal's 24-year old Beth Mead, similarly laid on the opening objective when she got her opportunity to start, against Argentina.

3 - ... What's more, the old guns

Jill Scott broke Peter Shilton's record for most England appearances at a World Cup at the end of the week and the 32-year old has been a key figure in the hurried to the quarter-finals. Be that as it may, Ellen White, 30, has stolen the headlines.

England's top scorer in France (four goals) can be depended on to rehash her trademark "goggles" festivity on the off chance that she gets another against Norway.

4 - A triumph against the odds?

Sort of. The bookmakers really rate England clear favorites against the 1995 World Champions.

Norway are without their World Player of the Year Ada Hegerberg, who is protesting about how the national alliance treats its women players.

Be that as it may, a virus sweeping through the England camp may deny them of Millie Bright, whose focal defensive accomplice Steph Houghton, England's skipper, could also miss out through damage.

5 - There will be controversy

That is almost a given at this World Cup, as decisions alluded to the video assistant referees add to the tension and rankle the coaches.

FIFA's refereeing boss Pierluigi Collina insisted on Wednesday that VAR was working, increasing exactness of decisions to above 98%. Critics would prefer to have the 92% precision without VAR and take out the delays.

Try not to be surprised if the discussion intensifies today around evening time.

6 - And... there could be a punishment shootout

This has always been a reason to hole up behind the sofa for England fans - until Gareth Southgate's men really their nerve to achieve last summer's quarter finals in Russia through a shootout.

The way that England in this competition have been more defensively solid than objective loaded lends belief to the possibility that this match could go all the way.

Rest assured that mentor Phil Neville will have arranged for this and will anticipate that his group should copy Southgate's.
