They're coming in as European champions, so there is a lot of pressure on them.

I’m excited for them. Haiti performed really well in the first game and should be ranked much higher than they are. Our group now gets harder with Denmark then China, so the girls need to put that Haiti performance to one side and look forward to Denmark.

Just go and enjoy it, have a bit of freedom and hopefully the floodgates will open and we will get some goals.

England defender Lucy Bronze has said the side are "confident" of finding their top form at the World Cup.

She explained, "I think we know what we can offer as a team. We know what we can offer as individuals. You have seen it, not just in an England shirt, but throughout this season."

"Our players, who play their club football, whether it’s Spain, Germany, or England wherever, we have got fantastic individuals in fantastic form."

Bronze added, " I am sure we will see that at the World Cup at some point, in more consistent bursts of performances."

It's been an incredible year. We came together to write the letter to the government to increase the number of hours of PE and equal access to football in PE for young girls.

We felt empowered to have a voice, with the growth of the game and the amount of grassroots clubs that have been created, which is around 170 since the Euros.

The demand is there; girls and boys alike are really excited about the game.

England fans in Sydney making an appearance on Fox Sports in the USA, complete with renditions of ‘Sweet Caroline’ and ‘It’s Coming Home’.

When the pundits, including former USA international Carli Lloyd, asked the fans if they wanted to be on TV, their reply was “only if you call it football, not soccer…”

You can't think too far ahead. It's that cliche of just taking one game at a time.

It is hard, there is that "World Cup fever", you're in the hotel and tuning in to all the games.

As a player you are probably trying to switch off from it as best you can and you do things to keep your mind off it.

The England girls will have been watching the Australia v Nigeria game and will know what could potentially happen [further down the line].

England midfielder Georgia Stanway speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about England's camp: "I think now we are able to call some thing home. We are able to make this a home from home. I don't necessarily remember the 2019 [World Cup, it] was a bit of a blur because I was so young.

"But the Euros was something we called home and somewhere to be so if the game was on everyone was in the same place watching the game. A relaxation room for us is really important and the FA and Nike have done a really good job with the relaxation room."

England's players were out on the grass at the Sydney Football Stadium when they first arrived earlier, as anticipation builds before their second 2023 Women's World Cup fixture.

A proud dad: Can't wait to watch the England game with my four-year-old daughter, Isla. She loves it!

Lou: We can do this ladies.

Chris: Denmark will be a more open game than Haiti which will suit England. A good start needed and a win is important. China next match is not a game we want to go into needing a win. Get the job done today.

I met Derrick (on the right) outside the stadium before kick-off. He is a Londoner who moved to Australia for work 50 years ago and never looked back.

His son was born here but they still travel back to the UK to watch Premier League games - Derrick is a huge Tottenham fan - and they have seen England's men play a few times in Europe.

However, this is Derrick's first time watching the Lionesses, with his ticket brought for him as a birthday present.

He said he has been reading up on the team and is very excited, although he hopes they play better than they did in the opening game!

With Nigeria's win over Australia, Group B is up in the air and will go right down to the last game.

Even though they are already out the Republic of Ireland can still have a huge say in who out of Canada, Australia and Nigeria go through to the knockout stages.

But England just need to control "the controllables" - they've got to just focus on Denmark.

[If England qualify for the knockout stages as Group D winners they would face the runner up from Group B in the Round of 16].

Despite registering 21 shots (11 of which were on target) during their win over Haiti, England's sole goal of the game came from the penalty spot courtesy of Georgia Stanway.

England have failed to score an open-play goal in their last four matches, against Australia, Portugal, Canada (in a behind-closed-doors friendly) and Haiti.

Yet defender Lucy Bronze thinks it is only a matter of time before the side convert their chances into goals.

"I think like Sarina said, we would be worried if we weren’t creating the opportunities, but we actually are. It’s just putting the ball in the back of the net a few more times, I think would settle a few more nerves.”

For a lot of players in the England squad it is their first tournament, for others it is their first World Cup, so nerves are normal.

But they need to have that self-confidence.

They are European Champions, and they should go out there with the mindset of "We are one of the best teams in the world, and this is the stage on which to show it."

The Guardian's Suzy Wrack assessing the threat that Denmark pose on BBC's Football Daily podcast: "They weren't overly impressive, which I was surprised by. Pernille Harder is the jewel in the crown and the rest of the pool aren't near her standard so it may even be easier.

"It may be easier to play against because they will try and play a little bit and it may be more open in the middle of the park potentially. But if you have a player like Pernille Harder in the team, any chance she will take it and that's the risk.

"Against Haiti players may step up and miss the target. When you play against Pernille Harder, she's going to make the most of those chances. That's the fear.

"I think it's going to be a bit more open and a bit tougher."

Denmark's biggest threat will be captain Pernille Harder, a player who has won the Women's Super League in each of the past three seasons before moving to Bayern Munich earlier this summer.

England defender Lucy Bronze has called the 30-year-old attacking midfielder “one of the best players in the world”.

Bronze added: “Not just for Chelsea, but also when she played for Wolfsburg and also for Denmark, she’s a tough player, but equally we’ve got many of those in our England side as well.”

Harder, who will go up against several former Blues team-mates, including England defensive duo Millie Bright and Jess Carter, said: “We need to enjoy it, we need to enjoy that, use the energy, even if they might not all support us, take the whole event and use it as a positive.

“Put in the extra effort in the field, really enjoy the moment, that’s what we must do. It’s great to be in a World Cup, that’s for sure, and it’s really cool to play all these matches. So, you shouldn’t think about the pressure but really just think about how cool it is.”

Remember to put your names on the texts if possible.

Some intriguing team selections.

Pernille Harder, who usually plays as a number 10, seems to be lining up in the number nine position like she did in Denmark's narrow win over China.

Meanwhile, Sarina Wiegman's decision to bring Rachel Daly in at left-back is controversial given she was the WSL's Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner as a striker for Aston Villa.

Many felt Ella Toone's position may have been at risk but she's retained her place, with Lauren James instead being played on the wing at Lauren Hemp's expense.

Denmark striker Pernille Harder shares a laugh with former Chelsea team-mate - and opponent for today - Niamh Charles.

Charles is among the substitutes for the Lionesses while Harder captains Denmark and leads the line for her nation.
