AUGSBURG, Germany (AFP) - England booked their ticket to the quarter-finals of the 2011 women's World Cup on Tuesday with an impressive 2-0 victory over Japan to claim first place in Group B.
Ellen White gave England the best start possible with a
1-0 lead after 15 minutes and Rachel Yankey sealed the victory after 66 minutes.
In the meantime, the strong English defence held the vaunted Japan attack—nicknamed the Barcelona of women's football—in check the entire game.
