There are huge celebrations in Sydney where Australia comfortably made it through to the quarter-finals of the Women\\u2019s World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Denmark.

Mani Djazmi spoke to jubilant Matildas fans and the ABC\\u2019s Samantha Lewis to discuss the goals, increased expectations and the return of captain Sam Kerr for her first appearance at her home World Cup since being injured.

Plus, England survived a scare to beat Nigeria on penalties after it remarkably finished goalless after 90 minutes. Who will they face in the quarter-finals?

In Melbourne, Katie Smith has been to the Jamaica camp to speak to manager Lorne Donaldson and player Deneisha Blackwood ahead of their last-16 tie against Colombia.
