Best XI: Women’s World Cup Group Stage

Forward: Ellen White (England)

The final forward in this front three is England’s Ellen White, who has been magnificent for the Lionesses.

The striker has scored three goals in two appearances, with a brace against Japan in a 2-0 victory and the second goal in a 2-1 win over Scotland.

The Manchester City player has been linking up well with her strike partners and working well with her overlapping full-backs, being strong in possession to hold up the ball and allow her teammates time to dart forward.

If England are to do be successful in this tournament then they will be reliant on forwards Nikita Paris and White at times, but the pair have shown that when played alongside each other, they are able to create plenty of chances between themselves.
