Good afternoon and welcome to the ABC Sport coverage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Simon Smale with you today for all the updates all across the evening.
We’re onto day seven of the tournament and we’re heading across the ditch for two of today’s three games, with Japan taking on Costa Rica in Dunedin/Ōtepoti, followed by Spain Zambia in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau.
Then we head west to Perth/Boorloo where Canada takes on Ireland.
We’ll have all the updates from those games as well as any news from the Matildas camp ahead of tomorrow’s important clash against Nigeria.
