AUSTRALIA AND ARGENTINA BOOK SEMI FINALS PLACE

Despite their surprise draw against Japan today, Australia have booked themselves a place in the semi finals of the Samsung Women's World Cup in Madrid. They are joined by Argentina, who head the table by virtue of goals scored. England's group play tomorrow, but with two matches outstanding in this pool it is theoretically possible for any team to qualify. The Netherlands look certain to be in the top two unless they trip over in their remaining games, with the second place going to either Germany or Spain, although England and Korea are not entirely out of the running at this stage. England play Germany tomorrow (Tuesday), with the Dutch meeting bottom placed China, and Spain playing India
