Group B of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup includes co-hosts Australia, Republic of Ireland, Nigeria and Canada.
This was always the closest thing the World Cup had to a 'Group of Death' and this is exactly how it unfolded when Nigeria squeezed their way into the knockouts at the expense of Olympic champions Canada. Australia only got through with a big win they pulled out of the bag right at the end.
Sadly for Ireland, successive defeats early on sealed their fate with a game to spare.
