After a 2-1 win over South Africa this afternoon in the Women's World Cup in Rosario, England's fate will depend on the performance of Korea in their last two Pool B matches.The hero of the day was England's Helen Richardson (Pictured in Daniel Carson's image from Rosario) whose 9th and 48th minute goals gave England their win. South Africa managed to pull one back late in the game with a Pietie Coetzee penalty corner goal.
Today's result leaves only Korea as challenger to England's bid to get a semi-final place. Argentina, who England play on Monday, will almost certainly qualify, but England are being chased by Korea who need to win their next two matches and raise their goal difference only marginally. The latest news from Rosario, where Korea are currently playing Spain, is that the score is 2-2. If the score stays that way England will qualify.
