Australia's 4-0 victory over Canada in the Women's World Cup (WWC) group stage was a remarkable performance, especially considering it came without their injured captain, Sam Kerr. Kerr provided inspiration to her team, urging them to win without her, and her teammates delivered a stellar performance to secure the top spot in the group for the first time in WWC history.

Manager Tony Gustavsson's job was reportedly on the line before the match, and the team's convincing win not only saved his position but also showcased the potential of a new attacking combination on the left side, featuring Steph Catley and Caitlin Foord from Arsenal. With 11 wins in their last 13 matches, Australia has been in formidable form, with eight of those victories accompanied by clean sheets.

Denmark, on the other hand, has shown significant defensive improvements, conceding no more than two goals in their last 11 matches. Their second-place finish in Group D was achieved with 1-0 and 2-0 wins over China and Haiti, respectively. This marks the first time Denmark has progressed beyond the group stage of a WWC since 1995.

Although Australia emerged victorious in their last encounter with Denmark, the Danes' improved defensive efforts make them a formidable opponent. Danish manager Lars Søndergaard believes his team can pose a significant challenge to the hosts, especially after witnessing Australia's dominant display against Canada.

In terms of players to watch, Australian left-back Steph Catley has been exceptional, scoring two penalties in three matches at the tournament, with all five of her international goals contributing to wins 'to nil.' Meanwhile, Denmark's Karen Holmgaard, a midfielder from Everton, has proven her goal-scoring abilities against Australia, having scored against them last year.

With both teams eager to progress to the Round of 16 and continue their journey in the tournament, the Australia-Denmark clash promises to be an exciting and closely contested match, with attacking prowess and defensive resilience on display.

This is looking like Australia's tournament to lose. They have everything required to lift the trophy. Good luck!

在女足世界杯小组赛中，澳大利亚队以4比0战胜加拿大队，这是一场了不起的比赛，尤其是考虑到队长萨姆·科尔没有受伤。科尔鼓舞了她的团队，鼓励他们在没有她的情况下取得胜利，她的队友们表现出色，在WWC历史上首次获得小组第一名。

据报道，主教练托尼·古斯塔夫松在比赛前的职位岌岌可危，球队令人信服的胜利不仅保住了他的位置，而且还展示了阿森纳的斯蒂芬·卡特利和凯特琳·福特在左路的新进攻组合的潜力。在过去的13场比赛中，澳大利亚取得了11场胜利，他们的状态令人敬畏，其中8场胜利都没有失球。

另一方面，丹麦队在防守方面有了明显的进步，在最近11场比赛中失球不超过2个。他们分别以1比0和2比0战胜中国和海地，获得D组第二名。这标志着丹麦自1995年以来首次在世界杯赛小组赛中出线。

尽管澳大利亚队在上一场与丹麦队的比赛中取得了胜利，但丹麦人在防守方面的改进使他们成为一个强大的对手。丹麦主帅恩德高认为，他的球队可以对东道主构成重大挑战，尤其是在目睹了澳大利亚对加拿大的强势表现之后。

在值得关注的球员方面，澳大利亚左后卫斯蒂芬·卡特利(stephen Catley)表现出色，在本届世界杯的三场比赛中打进两粒点球，她在国际比赛中打进的五粒进球都帮助中国队以“零比零”获胜。与此同时，来自埃弗顿的丹麦中场凯伦·霍姆加德(Karen Holmgaard)在去年对阵澳大利亚的比赛中证明了自己的进球能力。

由于两支球队都渴望进入16强，继续他们的比赛之旅，澳大利亚与丹麦的冲突注定是一场激动人心、势均力敌的比赛，进攻能力和防守韧性都将得到展示。

这看起来像是澳大利亚要输的比赛。他们拥有举起奖杯所需的一切。好运！
