The pick of the quarter-finals is France's clash with the United States, who are the reigning champions from 2015.

Team USA's Megan Rapinoe is eagerly anticipating their showdown:

The Americans delivered a statement in the group stage as they scored 18 unanswered goals, before beating Spain 2-1 in the last 16.

France also took a maximum nine points from their group, with centre-back Wendie Renard netting three times, before they edged out Brazil over 120 minutes in the first knockout round.

Bleacher Report's Rich Laverty has not been overly impressed with the hosts since they opened the tournament with a 4-0 win over South Korea, though:

Any side hoping to stop the United States at this year's tournament will need to be at their best—any less and Jill Ellis' side will continue to march on.

Despite winning all four of their matches in France, England will need to improve if they're to get past Norway.

Ellen White has been clinical in attack for the Lionesses with four goals, but Phil Neville's side frequently looked vulnerable at the back even as they beat Cameroon 3-0 in the last round:

Norway, who have won 12 of their 18 meetings with England, have found the net seven times in France and should be better able to capitalise on any openings than Cameroon were.

The Netherlands had Lieke Martens to thank for their quarter-final berth after she bagged two goals against Japan, including this remarkable effort:

The Barcelona star is off the mark in France now, while all-time top scorer Vivianne Mediema has two to her name as well.

Italy have several in-form players, too, with Cristiana Girelli, Aurora Galli and Barbara Bonansea bagging eight goals between them, but they were edged out by Brazil in the toughest test they faced in the group stage.

The Dutch are an even more difficult proposition, so Le Azzurre's run could be coming to an end.
