Bronze and Stanway on target for England in World Cup qualifyingPARIS, France, March 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - European champions England made it two wins from two in their World Cup 2027 qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over Iceland at the City Ground in Nottingham on Saturday. Lucy Bronze, earning her 145th cap, powered England ahead midway through the first half after a cross from Lauren James on the left. England and Spain meet in a repeat of the Euro 2025 final and the 2023 World Cup final next month. Only the winners of each of the four European 'League A' groups will qualify automatically for the World Cup. The other 12 teams go into play-offs, which will also involve the four League B group winners and the six group winners and two best runners-up from League C.
