England fears history against France in quarters
Posted Friday, July 08, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP)—England doesn’t have history on its side ahead of its quarterfinal against France at the Women’s World Cup on Saturday.
It is almost 37 years since England last managed to defeat the French, a 2-0 win in Wimbledon, with “Les Bleus” going on to win five of their next 10 meetings.
On both previous occasions England reached the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals, it was defeated 3-0—by Germany in 1995 and the United States in 2007.
France, meanwhile, is playing in its first quarterfinal.
The winner of the clash in Leverkusen will meet either Brazil or the U.S. in Moenchengladbach in Wednesday’s semifinals.
