Fifa Women's World Cup: How quarter-finalists shape up
The World Cup co-hosts are looking to make history by progressing beyond the quarter-finals for the first time, and they've been looking stronger as the tournament has gone on.
Colombia have been a surprise package, beating Germany and South Korea during the group stage and overcoming Jamaica in the last 16. The Lionesses improved after a slow start to the tournament, thrashing China 6-1 in their final group game, but they were far from their best as they scraped past Nigeria in the last 16.
They are unbeaten so far, finishing top of Group F with a draw and two wins - beating Brazil - and they thrashed Morocco 4-0 in the last 16."France have shown that they have developed relationships within this tournament, and rhythm in their play."France allow just 5.3 opposition passes on average for each defensive intervention they make, the lowest figure of any of the remaining eight sides.
Unbeaten in their six games, they finished top of a group that contained the USA, before beating South Africa 2-0 in the last 16.
