The Matildas recorded arguably the biggest win in their history as they beat Denmark 2-0 to clinch their spot in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Monday night.

Their path to the semi-finals will be difficult, however, despite the return of the inspirational Sam Kerr from injury against the Danes.

England were very scared against Nigeria – they won their round of 16 match in a penalty shootout after losing superstar Lauren James to a red card – proving there will be no easy games for the rest of the tournament, no matter how high a team stands. stands above another.

Who will the Matildas play next?

Coach Tony Gustavsson’s side defeated France 1–0 thanks to a Mary Fowler goal as the sides had a World Cup warm-up match just before the tournament started.

The French topped their pool after beating Panama 6-3, beating Brazil 2-1 and recording a clean sheet draw with Jamaica in their first three games.

They are fifth in the world rankings, five places ahead of the Matildas.

Morocco, on the other hand, is rated by FIFA as the 72nd best team in the world.

They started their World Cup campaign with a disastrous 6-0 defeat to Germany, but bounced back in sensational fashion to beat South Korea 1-0 and then beat Colombia by the same margin.

On paper, it seems almost certain that France will progress – but with heavyweights like the US and Norway being knocked out of the tournament, nothing is certain.

Should Sam Kerr and her teammates progress to the semi-finals, they will face whoever wins the match between England and Jamaica or Colombia, who face their round of 16 on Tuesday night.

The Lionesses were in frightening form as they dismantled China 6-1 in their final group stage match, but fell in quick succession as they failed to score against Nigeria before winning thanks to a penalty shootout.

The other half of the draw consists of quarterfinals between the Netherlands and Spain, and Japan and Sweden.

America’s shock loss to the Swedes in the round of 16, coupled with Germany and Norway tumbling out of the Cup, has left that side of the draw free in what should be a favorable development for anyone progressing to the final from the Australian side of the tournament.
