When Sweden faced Ireland at Euro 2016, they vowed to erect a “yellow wall” of fans around the Stade de France to buoy Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his side.

Of course, their best-laid plans were scuppered by the opposition outnumbering them so it’s a pity that the strength of the Green Army isn’t being mobilised for the meeting of the women’s teams in a World Cup qualifier on October 21.
