Team England are primed and psyched to take out rival Group A opponents Spain and secure a semi-final place at the M-1 Global Challenge this coming weekend on the 14th and 15th of August.
To stand a good chance of getting through to the semi’s they will need to push for a result of 4-1 or better still 5-0 against rivals Spain. This will position Team England well as long as Japan beat France or France manage no higher result then 3-2. Any more then 3-2 could be messy with head to head team challenges which would result in France going through from their previous victory over England in June.
