Women's World Cup: England ride luck and stumble to victory after Lauren James sees red
They had underwhelmed and stumbled along, not really imposing themselves on their opponents or the competition itself.England finally turned upAll of a sudden, concerns over England's slow start evaporated and instead praise was showered on Wiegman's tactical masterclass, where a rarely seen back three allowed England to express themselves in a free-flowing and highly entertaining display.
The nine-time African champions had beaten co-hosts Australia and finished above Olympic gold medallists Canada in the group stages. They were here for a giant-killing and almost succeeded. By half-time England had faced more shots than they had ever done in an opening 45 minutes under Wiegman. Frustration was building, the drums brought by Nigeria's faithful in the stands were getting louder, and audible groans from England fans behind the goal were becoming more frequent.
Faced with adversity, the odds stacked up against them given Nigeria's stranglehold on the game and a player advantage, England seemed to spark into gear and Wiegman finally found an answer.
