    These games always worry me more than the obvious ones because of complacency. There's a natural assumption that England will win this game. If complacency creeps in then it will be reflected in the performance.

  3. 'England must play quickly'published at 19:52 British Summer Time 14 June 2019

    England need to keep the width, they must keep Nikita Parris and Beth Mead wide and make sure they open up the game and create chances for Fran Kirby to get on the ball.

    They need to move the ball quickly and play it into the spaces tonight.

    The players are starting to wrap up their warm-ups in Le Havre. The atmosphere is building nicely. Looks like there's a good number in the stadium too!

    Lucy Bronze and Nikita Parris seem to get it right all the time. They know where each other is going to be.

    Other teams do not know how to deal with it. It sucks players in and then leaves spaces.

  7. How Argentina lost their team - and then fought backpublished at 19:47 British Summer Time 14 June 2019

    England v Argentina (20:00 BST)

    Caroline Chapman, who has been enjoying the blues skies out in Le Havre (jealous!), has written this excellent piece on Argentina's troubles within the national set-up.

    Three years ago, Argentina effectively had no women's team. They had no coach, no fixtures to play and no Fifa ranking. This was why Monday in Paris felt so special for them.

    Caroline spoke with Argentina left-back Eliana Stabile to get insight into some of the battles the team has fought in order to make it to France and why that 0-0 draw with Japan was arguably the biggest shock of the tournament.

    Whatever happens in France, they have already made people take note back home...

    You take each game individually. You look at the opposition and ask what players will execute your game plan. In 2015, I think it was a strength that no on could predict England's starting XI.

  11. 'We wanted to freshen it up'published at 19:43 British Summer Time 14 June 2019

    England v Argentina (20:00 BST)

    England manager Phil Neville speaking on BBC One: "We wanted to freshen it up a little bit from a tough game against Scotland, right down the spine, and give chances to players in good form and training well."

    On handing a first World Cup start to Carly Telford: "She's been to four major tournaments and she's someone you look for to pass on advice - but then you see she's never played in a World Cup and its a magnificent moment for her and I'm sure she'll do the job."

    On Argentina: "I thought they were fantastic against Japan in the opening game and we'll have to break down a resolute and spirited team. We're under no illusions."

    England midfielder Jill Scott on competing in her fourth World Cup tournament: “It’s been brilliant so far. I feel very lucky to have been to the tournaments that I’ve been at. I actually can’t believe this is my fourth World Cup!

    “This World Cup feels bigger. With us now being full time and the way the [FA WSL] has gone, the amount of support we see on social media...

    “I’ve tried to keep myself off social media because I don’t want to get caught up in it all, I just want to focus on the football. We’re here to play well and win games.

    “The support is fantastic. The fact that over 6m people watched the Scotland game on TV is mental.”

    Phil Neville will want the players to execute his plans and that will give them the best chance to win the game

    When Jill Scott is on it, she is one of the best. England need to get her in the right position.

    Your TV commentators Jonathan Pearce and Sue Smith are ready to bring you all the action from kick-off. Former international Sue was described by Phil Neville in yesterday’s press conference as one of English football’s pioneers, having made the “sacrifices” for the current crop. “We are blessed in how the FA back us,” said Neville.

    We salute you Sue!

    England v Argentina (20:00 BST)

    There are 14 players in the Argentina squad who are amateur footballers. That is one example that helps to explain just how special being at this World Cup is to them.

  18. 'I feel blessed'published at 19:34 British Summer Time 14 June 2019

    England v Argentina (20:00 BST)

    When asked about Argentina's situation, Phil Neville responded by saying he felt "blessed" to have been appointed in an era where England's women's team were treated the same as the men's team.

    "When you hear stories about Argentina and Thailand, they are at the start of their journeys and they will get to the level they need to.

    "The way women's football around the world is being promoted and accepted and developed, we are all heading in the right direction.

    "Before every game we make reference to the people who fought to get us in this position.

    "We want to be successful at this World Cup but my players want to make sure the next generation gets more than we have."

    The Williamson family are in France to support their daughter, England midfielder Leah.

    “We’ve driven here in what we’re calling the party bus! We’re loving it and it’s great to be out here supporting Leah and the girls.

    “We see her when she has down time and actually played crazy golf with her this morning.”

    Brother Jacob will miss the final group game against Japan as he’s heading home to do his A Levels next week but he’s confident England will beat Argentina tonight. “I’m going for a 3-0 win,” he says.
