Mary Earps has said the Lionesses “don’t fear anyone” as they look towards Monday’s last-16 meeting with Nigeria. England were rampant in a 6-1 defeat of China, five goalscorers helping them to finish the group stage on a high after somewhat laboured 1-0 wins over Haiti and Denmark.
“I don’t think we fear anyone in general anyway,” England’s goalkeeper said. “Our qualities have shown through in however many months and years we’ve been playing together, so I think we’re in a good spot. I’m glad it happened for us [against China]. It’s not going to always go that way but as long as we’re keeping the wins on the board then no complaints.”
