Best XI: Women’s World Cup Group Stage

Midfielder: Caroline Hansen (Norway) 

Norway may not have the most individually-talented squad, especially with Ada Hegerberg refusing to play for her nation, but as a collective team they have shown to be very difficult opposition.

Centre midfielder Caroline Hansen has been pivotal in Norway’s success in moving into the knockout stages, scoring one and assisting one in what has been a noteworthy campaign for the Wolfsburg midfielder.

The attacking Norwegian has averaged five successful dribbles per match in her three appearances, showcasing that she is bringing the ball forward from deep and putting her side on the front-foot consistently.
