Karen Carney, a former England international, believes Super Falcons of Nigeria will not be able to stop the Lionesses from winning the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The Round of 16 match between the two teams is scheduled for Monday.
Speaking at a Powerleague event ahead of a series of free football training sessions for young female players at Shepherds Bush on August 16, Carney expressed confidence in England’s chances following the victory over China.
‘I definitely think that England can win the World Cup and I’m even more confident now after the China performance.
‘There’s a big belief in the England squad now that they can go all the way. I think we have to get behind them and push them to achieve something special.
‘Tournament football is all about peaking at the right time and we have already seen some big teams exit the tournament. I think England have plenty more gears in them.
