It’s England v Canada in the Women’s World Cup Final.
The empire vs one of the colonies.
A team of professionals vs a team that had to crowdfund to get here.
Although England will be favourites, Canada are no pushovers. After all they beat the holders New Zealand in the semis.
It’s one of those games where you wonder if being the home nation, in their own stadium, and the favourites is an advantage or not.
It could be too much pressure with so much to lose.
The Canadians on the other hand having defied the odds and shocked the pundits have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
An enviable position. A psychological sweet spot.
Will the pressure be too much for England?
Will Canada show off what a team of amateurs can achieve?
