Lionesses rout China to win Group D; Dutch blow out Vietnam to win Group E; Danes advance for first time since 1995
SYDNEY — Only VAR prevented England’s Lauren James from scoring a hat trick against China at the Women’s World Cup.
James thought she had another memorable goal after expertly firing into the corner from distance in first-half stoppage time. But the effort was disallowed because her teammate Lucy Bronze had been in an offside position during the build up. In a performance of rare brilliance, there were so many stand out moments for James. But the control and precision of her left-foot volley in the 65th minute, taken with her instep, was special.
While the loss of Walsh is a setback for England, the emergence of James has made her one of the stars so far in the tournament.Netherlands scored four times in a torrid 15-minute first-half stretch, overwhelming Vietnam in the Women’s World Cup on Tuesday in Dunedin, New Zealand, and sealing first place in Group E.
Vietnam changed goalkeepers at halftime, substituting Khong Thi Hang in for Tran Thi Kim Thanh. It was too late. “We have been playing with the spirit of Vietnam. We have tried our best. But it is clear that we cannot close the gap between us and the Netherlands.” — Mai Duc Chung, Vietnam coach.
