England's quest to reach the finals of the 2007 Women's World Cup, reaches its climax this Saturday with a make-or-break clash against France in Rennes, a match which we have live on BBC Three from 1900 BST (kick-off 1930).

Ever since the Women's World Cup qualifying draw was made two years ago it looked likely that this match would determine which country would go to China and so it has proved: England require just a point whilst France have to win. It's set to be a tense and exciting night for all involved.

I have been editing the BBC's television coverage of women's football for five years now and this undoubtedly is the strongest national side I have seen in that time.
