AUCKLAND : European champions England will be keen to rediscover their scoring touch after a lacklustre start to their Women's World Cup campaign when they take on Denmark in Sydney on Friday, where the winner could secure a spot in the knockouts.
Denmark, who saw off China thanks to 90th-minute goal from Amalie Vangsgaard, are level with England on three points at the top of Group D. The Caribbean side will exit the tournament if they lose and Denmark win or draw against England, while China will be out with a defeat and an England win or draw with Denmark.
South Africa and Argentina kick off Friday's action in Dunedin, having lost to Sweden and Italy respectively in their Group G openers.
