    England v USAPA

    James Daniel Malin: Noooooo! Lucky escape for USA! Keep the pressure up England!

    Robert Bond: Look at that England goal again please, 100% onside.

    Javel Beach: Dreadful decision! Football, you've got TV, if you don't use it then why should I? Just toss a coin for the goals.

  2. A simple save for Karen Bardsley as Abby Wambach rises highest at a corner. Her header is straight at the England stopper though.

    Apart from the goal, which was excellent, Bardsley hasn't really been tested. Still time for Wambach to add to that phenomenal record however.

  3. Fran Kirby is fine. She's back on the pitch and straight into the thick of it as England look to charge forward on the break. This counter doesn't win more than about 15 yard sin the US half though, as the visitors crowd Kirby out.

  4. SUBSTITUTION

    A defensive change for England as Alex Greenwood enters the fray, replacing Demi Stokes. Fran Kirby is down getting treatment. It would be a blow if England were to lose her, Kirby's been one of the brighter performers in my book.

  5. England v USAGetty Images

    Patient stuff from the visitors again. They really do look very comfortable with the ball at their feet. England just sitting back waiting for a mistake to pounce on.

  6. USA give it away in midfield and England break quickly through Jodie Taylor. She drives on, looking for a one-two with Jordan Nobbs, but the return pass is poor. That was a chance for the home side - Taylor would have had the beating of her marker if the ball had reached her.

  7. The US have been let off the hook here and they seem to know it. They're pushing forward for a second that could put this one to bed. Alex Morgan shimmies a challenge before striking a low drive, but it's lacking in power and Karen Bardsley can gather easily.

  8. England have to be buoyed by that. The US were undone and they should be level. Driven on by a sense of injustice?

  9. Disallowed goal - Jodie Taylor

    From nothing, England have the ball in the net but it is ruled out for offside! Fran Kirby unleashes a vicious strike from outside the box that is tipped onto the bar. Jodie Taylor pounces to poke the ball home, cue the assistant referee's flag. But replays show she was well onside when Kirby shot. England denied.

  10. Christen Press keeps popping up with the ball in dangerous positions. Floating around in between the England defence and midfield she's played in and beats one player before looking to shoot, but the home side manage to pop the ball out from under her feet.

    Down the other end Jodie Taylor enjoys the brightest moment of England's night so far. A shot that flies way over the bar. Better though.

  11. PENALTY APPEAL

    Christen Press goes down under a searching Jill Scott challenge and for a moment the referee looks to have given a pen. It's a corner, but Scott seems to be claiming a goal kick. Or maybe she was claiming innocence just in case. Worrying moment for England.

  12. Fran Kirby carries the ball forward as England nick it back but she is muscled out of it by the US defenders. Kirby's been full of running but she had nobody in support there. England defending very deep.

  13. I would tend to agree James. That 10-0 win over Montenegro looks a world away.

  15. Back under way. England have possession from the restart but one long ball forward sends it back to the opposition. Now it's the Great Escape being played.

  16. USA are first back out from the dressing rooms as the subs trying to impress each other with tricks on the pitch during the break all stream off. England are out too now.

    I hope they weren't watching the half-time highlights reel. Our pictures were showing chance after chance for the US. No changes made by either side.

  17. Jacqui Oatley
    BBC Radio 5 live

    "A very flat first half from England. The United States have been calling all the shots. England need inspiration from somewhere."

  18. England players on Twitter

    Injured England and Manchester City striker Toni Duggan: "Let's go team @england! So gutted not to be there. Hoping for a big performance to kick start 2015, come on girls!"

  20. Stern words from England manager Mark Sampson at half-time you would expect then. Yes USA are a top side but apart from the first five minutes England haven't put them under any pressure whatsoever.

    Surely there's more to come from the home side in the second half? Surely they'll at least close them down a bit quicker?
