July 3 | England secures quarter-finals berth after nail-biting penalty shootout

Sweden and England are the final two teams to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.

The Swedish side notched a goal in the 66th minute through a deflection from a Switzerland defender to earn their 1-0 victory. This marks the first time since 1994 that Sweden progressed to the quarter-finals.

England, on the other hand, provided a suspenseful thriller to the end. Following a 1-1 result in extra time, the English side defeated Colombia 4-3 on penalties.

After Tuesday's team training, several Fire players gathered together to watch England take on Colombia, including Jon Bakero, Daniel Johnson and Mo Adams.
