With the World Cup taking place in Australia and New Zealand, plenty of fans around the world will be in bed when some of the games take place.
Not to worry, we have you covered.
Argentina came back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 draw with South Africa.
Lauren Jamesā early goal was enough to see England beat Denmark 1-0 in Sydney.
Despite getting a player sent off in the first half, China beat Haiti 1-0 in a hard-fought win.
You wonāt see a better goal in this group stage than Lauren Jamesās curled effort to and England a win over Denmark.
James was given her first ever World Cup start on Friday as she replaced Lauren Hemp in the Lionesses side following their turgid win over Haiti.
And although Sarina Wiegmanās team were not at their best, the one moment of quality they did produce, ended with a goal.
James cut inside on to her right foot and side-footed a brilliant effort around the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.
It was a beauty and will surely see the Chelsea forward cement her place in the side going forward.
In one of the more unlikely results of the World Cup so far, 10 woman China beat Haiti to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Zhang Rui was sent off for the Asian side in the first half which left China with a huge uphill task after the break.
Wang Shuang was the one who scored the winning goal but the Player of the Day award has to go to China goalkeeper Yu Zhu.
The 26-year-old was equal to everything Haiti threw at her and produced, arguably, the save of the tournament early in the second half, pulling off a point blank save from Kethna Louisā shot.
Thatās what it meant to Romina Nunez as she scored the equaliser for Argentina against South Africa.
In a real end-to-end encounter, the South American side came from two down to earn a share of the spoils and keep their hopes of qualification alive.
Saturday will see a whole host of matches but the pick of them comes from Brisbane.
France, one of Europeās most dangerous sides, take on heavyweights in Brazil.
This will be only the third time these two teams have met at a World Cup with Brazil having not yet won against Les Bleus.
This is a must-watch.
