Wycombe Wanderers right-back Jack Grimmer is backing the England team to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup today, despite being Scottish.
The 29-year-old has been keeping a close eye on the tournament happening in Australia, which will see the Lionesses take on Spain in the final showpiece this Sunday [August 20].
If Sarina Wiegman’s side were to defeat the Spanish, it would be the England women’s first-ever triumph in the tournament.
