There is a lot of excitement in this Group F clash, with France needing to prove themselves against a strong Brazilian side.
France's 0-0 draw with Jamaica in the first round of the group stage was disappointing, and the team had many chances to score during the match, so I think coach Hannah will expect his players to improve their goal-scoring skills when they face Brazil.
Striker Dianne has missed a few good chances to score and I'm sure she'll be hoping to get a goal to show her worth in this match. Janessa Daley, who plays for Aston Villa, has been a great substitute and I hope to see her get more playing time in this match against Brazil, the Women's South American Champions.
Lennart and Casciano make a solid center pair and Lennart is dangerous on dead ball attacks. I think when the team needs a goal, they should try to get the ball to her feet.
Brazil's performance in the 4-0 win over Panama was a delight to watch. They were in total control of the game and Ellie was a revelation.
The 3 goals she scored were of high quality. I also appreciate that she is an unselfish player, she assisted her teammate Bilitis with a wonderful back pass for her team's 3rd goal, and she also scored a hat-trick in this game.
Although Debbie didn't score, she will be an important player for the team, and Maddah also came on in the last 15 minutes of the game. This will be Maddah's 6th Women's World Cup Final Week and I think she will be able to help and lead her young teammates to a good performance.
