So after all the tinkering, do we finally see Phil Neville's strongest XI? Looks like it will be a 4-2-3-1 with Jill Scott and Keira Walsh sitting behind Fran Kirby, with Ellen White up top.

The players are enemies today but usually friends at club level. If you had to pick one player from the opposition nation to join your squad, who would it be?

As an England fan, would you take Erin Cuthbert? Or would you, as a Scotland fan, be keen to have Lucy Bronze?

Let me know who your pick would be - and why - using #bbcfootball or by texting 81111 (UK only).

Scotland manager Shelley Kerr: "We're playing against a formidable England team, ranked third in the world.

"And part of the reason Phil Neville took the job was to win a World Cup, so it's going to be a tough task.

"There's so many variables that can happen, especially in a first game, there's no doubt there's more pressure on England than there is on Scotland.

"However, the pressure that we have is the pressure the players are putting themselves under."

I've done about eight laps of the stadium trying to find the right entrance, and ended up bumping in to a very committed couple who have travelled all the way from Barrow-in-Furness to support England sub Georgia Stanway.

And they've gone the extra mile to get a specially-commissioned England shirt. Rashford out, Stanway in.

And the reason Emlyn Hughes makes an appearance on the badge? He was the last person born in Barrow to score for England.

England should be "brave enough" to accept criticism if they "don't achieve their ambitions" during their Women's World Cup campaign in France, says manager Phil Neville.

"In my first press conference I said I wanted to win the World Cup," he said.

"One of the journalists said 'don't you think that's brave and bolshy?' I said no because that's where we want to be.

"There's always been this real 'nicey nicey' approach to the women's game and I'm of the opinion that if you win get praise but if you do a bad pass then you are going to get criticised."

So that means Toni Duggan and Demi Stokes failed their late fitness tests for England and remain on the bench.

Scotland striker Erin Cuthbert starts, as do defensive duo Rachel Corsie and Jennifer Beattie.

Here are the teams!

England XI: Bardsley, Bronze, Houghton, Bright, Greenwood, Walsh, Kirby, Scott, Parris, White, Mead

Cristiane has netted a hat-trick for Brazil and has been taken off for a rest in the 65th minute. An unreal performance from her and the Brazilians are winning 3-0 with 20 minutes left against Jamaica in Group C.

Jo Love’s Scotland career has spanned 17 years and a lot of that has been spent working or playing alongside manager Shelley Kerr.

The Glasgow City midfielder played with Kerr, has been roommates with the boss and has a close friendship with her. But what does she think of Kerr as a manager?

“She made it easy for me... well, apart from the fact she gets up early. Like stupidly early. And she always used to slag me for sleeping all the time.

“We used to spend hours in the car together going up and down to Doncaster with another Scotland player, Pauline Hamill. Shelley had this wee banger car that we ran up and down in and one day, when we were driving along, she just suddenly said 'ah cannae brake'. I was in the back screaming but she was just calm and composed as usual and pulled it on to the hard shoulder.

“We'd had that transition from team-mates and friends to her being my manager but we can still have a laugh and I can still say what I feel because we know how each other works."

There are plenty of guests of Fifa expected in Nice today including Nicola Sturgeon, Faye White and Alex Scott.

I wonder what the rivalry will be like?

England head coach Phil Neville: "This is the biggest thing that I’ve ever done in my life. World Cups made me fall in love with football.

“It is about calmness, I want to see my team play with freedom. They have to play with a smile on their face, and they have to be fresh.

"We like the pressure being on us but we have huge respect for our opponents. This is our toughest game by far."
