This weekend the tennis will have a fresh competitor for your sporting attention, as the Women’s World Cup finals kick off in Germany. At the last competition England reached the quarter-finals, but they’re one of the favourites at this tournament, with the establishment of domestic league here in the Uk helping to raise the profile of the game.

England’s group games are:

Monday 27th June vs Mexico, 5pm

Friday 1st July vs New Zealand, 5.15pm

Tuesday 5th July vs Japan, 5.15pm

England players such as Rachel Yankey and Kelly Smith (pictured above) will hoping to progress beyond the group stages and reach the final on 17th July.

If you want to get clued up ahead of the tournament kicking off on Sunday, there’s plenty of great guides around. The Guardian have put together a piece on why England are looking positive ahead of their first game, while the BBC have also done a who’s who guide for the England squad so you can swot up and show off your knowledge!

It’s not all England either. The Beeb have also asked England star Kelly Smith to pick out her tips for who could be the big hitters in Germany.

All the games will be shown live on the BBC website, so it’s also a perfect excuse to grab some footy action at work when you should be working!
