+ Norway group winner despite weak play

Despite a game that has not impressed, Norway started with two narrow victories, the team stands as the winner in group A. With stars like Caroline Graham Hansen (Barcelona) and Ada Hegerberg (Lyon), many are now waiting for the team to find its form in time for the playoffs.

+ Italy – an unlikely quarterfinalist

Italy has had a shaky journey to the quarterfinals: the team started with a 1–0 win over Belgium, drew with Portugal and lost to group leader Spain. Despite only four points, advancement to the final was secured. Can the team captain and Juventus star Cristiana Girelli lead her team to a surprise victory?
