Happy Sunday, Spurs fans! It’s Day 3 of World Cup 2019 and today we get to see England in action for the first time, taking on Scotland. Weird that two home nations were drawn together in the same group, but that might just give this match a little bit more “spice.”

What to Watch For
Of the most interest to our readership is likely England-Scotland. The Scottish women are probably better than the men are respectively, but England will want to put a marker down as one of the favorites not only in their group but in the tournament.
If you don’t know much about women’s football, you’ve probably heard of Brazil’s Marta. Well, she’s injured, but Brazil will take on a Jamaica team that features a player named Bunny, was saved by Bob Marley’s daughter after the team was disbanded in 2014, and that is in its first Women’s World Cup.
