# Introducing England’s 2015 World Cup Football Team May 16, 2015 Ranked sixth in the world – its highest ranking ever – England has high hopes for this year’s World Cup. With eight new players and eight three-time veterans, the Lionesses are looking to win the competition by playing each match like it’s their last.
