Here's the rules for anyone interested:
The Cyprus Cup uses the following two-phase format:
The first phase is a group stage in which the twelve invited teams are divided into three groups of four teams. The teams in Group A and Group B consist of higher-ranked teams and are the only teams actually in contention for the championship; Group C consists of lower-ranked teams. Each group plays a round-robin of six games, with each team playing one match against each of the other teams in the same group.
The second phase is a single "finals day" in which six games involving all twelve teams are played to determine the tournament's final standings, with the match-ups as follows:
1st place match: Winners of Groups A and B. 3rd place match: Winner of Group C and best runner-up from Groups A and B. 5th place match: Runner-up in Group C and second-best runner-up from Groups A and B. 7th place match: Third-place teams in Groups A and B. 9th place match: Third-place team in Group C and best fourth-place team from Groups A and B. 11th place match: Fourth-place team in Group C and second-best fourth-place team from Groups A and B.
GROUP A:
Scotland Canada Italy Korea Republic
GROUP B:
Australia England Finland The Netherlands
GROUP C:
Belgium Czech Republic Mexico South Africa

Australia 0-3 England
Third game...Netherlands vs England on Monday at 17:30 (Cyprus time)
EDIT:..................
Jodie Taylor hit a hat-trick to give England a 3-0 group win over Australia and a place in the Cyprus Cup final.
The victory meant that England, with maximum points from their opening two games, cannot be overtaken at the top of the group.
And with the head-to-head group result deciding which team goes into the final if two finish level on points - and with Australia the only other team capable of ending with six points - England are set for their third successive Cyprus final.
They will play Italy or Canada who meet in a winner-takes all game on Monday.

England held by Dutch England have lost their 100% record after drawing their final group game at the Cyprus Women's Cup, but still advance to Wednesday's final. Eni Aluko equalised Anna Miedema's early goal for the Netherlands, with England already having qualified for a final against Canada.

ENGLAND LADIES SHOW THE WAY
England won the Cyprus Cup final for the third time in seven years as Lianne Sanderson's goal earned a 1-0 win against Canada.
Sanderson scored from 15 yards after Jordan Nobbs's through ball.
The win gives Mark Sampson's team a huge confidence boost three months ahead of the World Cup in Canada.
All three of England's Cyprus wins have come against the Canadians, 3-1 in 2009 with Sanderson among the scorers, and 1-0 in 2013.

SHORTIST GAME EVER?
England will restart a key Under-19 women's match in the 96th minute with a retaken penalty after a refereeing error. Mo Marley's side, trailing 2-1, will replay the final minutes of the European U19 Championship qualifier against Norway in Belfast on Thursday.
German referee Marija Kurtes disallowed Leah Williamson's spot-kick for encroachment during Saturday's match.
But she wrongly gave Norway a free-kick instead of ordering a penalty retake.
The restart will take place at the Seaview Stadium in Belfast at 21:45 BST with a different referee, as Kurtes has been sent home following her error
Uefa's ruling states that the match will be "extended according to the discretion of the referee". Approximately three minutes remain to be played.
The penalty retake could prove crucial as both sides vie for automatic qualification. If England and Norway win their remaining games - both taking place beforehand at 16:00 BST on Thursday - an equaliser from the spot could put England through as group winners on goal difference.
Both teams must restart the game with the same players who were on the field at the moment the penalty was taken in the original match, although England can change the kick taker.
Vilde Fjelldal gave Norway the lead on Saturday, before Molly Bartrip's own goal made it 2-0. Substitute Rosella Ayane pulled one back for England with two minutes to go before they were awarded the late penalty.
England and Norway's Under-19 women's teams are in Belfast anyway to complete a set of round-robin qualification fixtures for July's finals in Israel.
England, who beat Northern Ireland 9-1 on Monday, play Switzerland in their final scheduled qualification match at 16:00 BST. Norway will face Northern Ireland at the same time.

"Bizarrely, both Norway and England will play their final group matches before the final minute of the Norway match is replayed. England play Switzerland and Norway face Northern Ireland."
Bizarre indeed. Everything FIFA and UEFA come up with seems to be perverse. With the scheduled matches timed for 16:00, there would be ample time to 'complete' the 'incomplete' game beforehand.

And, finally........................maybe!
Group 4: Switzerland 1-3 England Group 4: Northern Ireland 1-8 Norway
Leah Williamson then converted the replayed spot kick at Seaview Stadium in Belfast – her second penalty of the day, having also struck against Switzerland – to earn Mo Marley's England team a 2-2 draw and top spot in the section. Norway go through to the finals in Israel as best runners-up, determined by each second-placed side's record against the teams that finished first and third in their group.
Finals lineup Israel (hosts) Spain (Group 1 winners) Sweden (Group 2 winners) France (Group 3 winners) England (Group 4 winners)* Germany (Group 5 winners) Denmark (Group 6 winners) Norway (best runners-up)*
* The Group 4 rankings are provisional and could be subject to appeal (from official uefa website)
The goalfest in the final matches made the top spot close with England finally taking it on goal-difference by ONE goal.

Hmmm.....I've heard an alternative reason for the first game debacle, that she didn't award Norway a free kick, but instead actually blew for time!
You never know what to believe on the internet!
I'm also not sure who would appeal the outcome. Even if Williamson had missed the penalty, I think England would still have qualified as best runners-up. They would have had 6 points and +9 GD. The next best would have been Netherlands with 6 points but only +8 GD. As the finals competition is based on a 'free' draw, everyone goes into it as equals.
