Germany v England – FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015 Match for third place
Two top European sides, Germany and England will battle it out in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015 Third Place Play-off match.
After a fantastic tournament performance from both Germany and England, the European sides fell in their semi-finals against USA and Japan respectively.
Both semi-final matches gave us a competitive hard fought contest, controversial penalties, missed opportunities and for England a heartbreaking undeserved freak own goal.
Take a look at all the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup results so far.
