England have had a mixed tournament so far. Underwhelming 1-0 wins to begin the competition gave way to a stunning thrashing against China, followed by a nervy 0-0 with Nigeria in which the Lionesses can count themselves lucky for coming through unscathed on penalties. There have been low moments – Keira Walsh’s injury scare and Lauren James’s red card – but the side are still roaring.

Colombia are the lowest-ranked side left Down Under but will by no means roll over. Teen sensation Linda Caicedo and co. will be looking for another scalp, having defeated Germany – and England will have to step up massively.

The winner faces either Australia or France in a massive semi-final.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Women’s World Cup 2023 from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for some or all of the World Cup, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You’ll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won’t automatically block the service you’ve paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
