Where England-Sweden quarter-final will be decided
England captain Leah Williamson faces a tough challenge against Sweden's Stina Blackstenius, known for her speed and ability to stretch backlines, as they are teammates at Arsenal. Blackstenius showcased her striking intelligence in the recent win over Germany. Williamson and Jess Carter must be alert to Blackstenius' movements, particularly in the box where she excels aerially. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton's distribution will also play a crucial role in limiting Sweden's attacking threats. England's defensive strategy against Sweden seems to focus on countering Blackstenius' strengths while capitalizing on their own defensive skills and ball-playing abilities.
