09/16/2007 - Chengdu, China (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - England advanced to the quarterfinals in its only other appearance in the Women's World Cup in 1995. The team is in a great position to do so once again Monday despite the fact it has failed to win either of its first two games in the group stage.
England was held to a 2-2 draw by Japan in its first match after conceding a goal in the 94th minute, but it put together a much better performance in holding defending champion Germany to a 0-0 draw on Friday.
England will advance to the next round no matter what if it records a two- goal win against Argentina, which should not be a problem for Hope Powell's club.
The Brits have performed better than expected to this point, and will give any team in the quarterfinals a tough time. Star striker Kelly Smith has proven to be one of the top strikers in the world, scoring two goals against Japan and giving the strong German defense all it could handle.
What has been the most impressive so far is how well the English defense has held up.
England keeper Rachel Brown has performed well, including a big stop in the final 10 minutes to preserve the 0-0 draw with Germany. Both Japan goals came from free kicks, so England has not allowed a goal from the run of play in two matches and shouldn't have a problem keeping that streak going against a weak Argentina side.
England captain Faye White has anchored the back line, along with Alex Scott and Casey Stoney. That trio combined to hold the German attack in check, including Birgit Prinz, who had almost no impact on the match.
Argentina has hardly even threatened to score and, with no firepower up top, is unlikely to do so against England. The South Americans have lacked any ability to sustain a build up, and although they lost only 1-0 to Japan last time out, don't look to have much of a chance.
Poor play in goal has been another problem for Argentina, with Vanina Correa getting overmatched in the first game with Germany, and veteran Romina Ferro spilling a bad rebound in stoppage time that prevented Argentina from earning a point against Japan.
This combination bodes well for England's Smith, who figures to add to her goal total in this competition.
England should not have to do any watching of the scoreboard on Monday because it will go out and put itself in the quarterfinals with a big win, something Japan failed to do against Argentina.
Powell has England going in the right direction, and it will take more than Argentina to knock the team off track.
