Spain is in the final of the World Cup. Who will it be against? That question will be answered this Wednesday from 12pm CEST: Australia and England are competing for a place in the final.

Around 80 000 people will be at Sydney Stadium this Wednesday when Australia and England contest the second semi-final of the World Cup in Oceania.

The Australians are riding the wave of euphoria, with expectations running high after their penalty shoot-out quarter-final victory over France.

England will still have to do without suspended attacker Lauren James. However, the reigning European champions are still expected to challenge Spain in the final.

Forecasting staff member Sam Ashoo reports from Sydney: “What a tournament for Australia! The women’s team returned to Sydney after defeating France in the quarter-finals in Brisbane. Australia is in World Cup fever. The country hasn’t experienced anything like this since the 2000 Olympics. The Matildas will believe in beating England to reach the biggest game in women’s football. You can’t blame them. “
