ENGLAND begin their Women’s World Cup adventure with a Group D opener against Haiti – and they’ll be expected to make the perfect start.
The Lionesses ran riot in their qualifying campaign by winning ALL ten group matches.
And more impressively, Sarina Wiegman’s side scored 80 goals in the process without conceding.
In addition to that, the Lionesses will have the wind in their sails as they go into the Australia and New Zealand tournament off the back of an iconic Euros triumph.
But Wiegman’s women have been warned not to overlook their opponents despite this being Haiti’s first-ever World Cup involvement.
