England Women 6-1 Argentina Women
Jill Scott (r) scored England's second goal. England reached the Women's World Cup quarter-finals after comfortably beating Argentina in Chengdu.
England led 2-0 after 10 minutes thanks to Eva Gonzalez's headed own goal and Jill Scott's speculative shot. Catalina Perez was sent off early in the second half, giving away a penalty that was converted by Fara Williams.
Argentina pulled a goal back through Gonzalez's free-kick, but Kelly Smith struck twice more and Vicky Exley made it 6-1 with a confident penalty. The win meant England finished second in Group A behind Germany and they will discover their quarter-final opponents on Tuesday when the Group B matches are completed. The United States are favourites to progress along with either Sweden or North Korea.
Comment: After the Sporting disasters of both the England Rugby & Cricket Teams, losing to the South African Rugby & Cricket Teams, it's fantastic to see an England Team actually win a match.
