Best XI: Women’s World Cup Group Stage

Midfielder: Kosovare Asllani
(Sweden)

Twenty-nine-year-old Kosovare Asllani has been crucial for the progression of Sweden in this tournament as her two goals and assist helped secure the Scandinavian side second-place in Group F.

The Linkopings FC midfielder has been energetic throughout and has shown that players can flourish if they have licence to roam in midfield, being able to drift into pockets and open space for teammates to run into.

If Sweden continue to play with the same work ethic and flair that they have done so far, they could prove to be dark horses in this competition.
