England faces a pivotal moment as they prepare for their Women’s World Cup playoff against Greece on Tuesday. With a 3-1 first-leg victory in Crete, the team aims to secure their place in the final tie while refining their style for next summer's tournament in Brazil.

As they train at St George’s Park, six pressing questions loom:

• Can England defend well enough to win a world title?
  Despite dominating possession with 58 touches in Greece’s box, England conceded a goal. Coach Sarina Wiegman expressed dissatisfaction with their defensive performance, especially following a 4-0 defeat to Spain in June. They need to improve on counterattack defense to clinch a world title.

• Why are the forwards not clicking?
  England struggled in the final third, failing to convert opportunities against Greece. Wiegman highlighted the need for better execution, emphasizing the importance of timing and decision-making in attacks.

• Who should start in attacking midfield?
  The No 10 position remains uncertain, with options including Jess Park, Lucia Kendall, and Ella Toone. Wiegman noted the competition offers tactical flexibility but creates ambiguity about the starting lineup.

• What about the right wing?
  While Lauren Hemp is a certainty on the left, the right wing is less clear. Chloe Kelly's absence raises questions, and Lauren James's versatility complicates decisions.

• Which youngsters should be given a chance?
  Calls for Lexi Potter and Freya Godfrey to debut grow louder. Wiegman is expected to make changes, balancing youth and experience.

• Do England need clarity over Wiegman’s future?
  With Wiegman's contract ending post-World Cup, her future remains uncertain. Player Keira Walsh expressed hope for her continuation, but Wiegman remains focused solely on the upcoming match.
