LONDON (Reuters) - Solving the kind of puzzle set by Australia will be a key for England's Lionesses as they seek to add the World Cup to their European crown later this year, coach Sarina Wiegman insists.

Australia then picked their moments to counter-attack in clinical fashion as England ran out of ideas. "We play against some opponents now that drop a little deeper, are really tight," Wiegman said."So we have to find solutions and find a way to create more to score goals.
