    Almost time to go. A point and USA top the group, a win for Sweden and they win Group F.

    It will be a tougher game for America than the neutral expects. They have played the two weakest teams in the tournament so this is a real test.

    Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, whose summer departure from Chelsea was revealed in May, says she is yet to decide where she will play next season.

    The Sweden number one is likely to be busy tonight, if the USA's first two games are anything to go by.

    Lindahl, who won two domestic doubles with Chelsea over a four-year spell, told BBC Sport: "I’m looking forward to playing against some of the best forwards in the world.

    "It’s a good opportunity for me hopefully to play well and to show the clubs out there that I’m capable of playing on this level. My next move, nothing has been signed, so there is opportunity for them to contact me."

    The United States have won three of the six Women's World Cups which have taken place - including the first and most recent.

    Sweden have never won, but lost the 2003 final and finished third twice.

    The US have only ever lost one group game at the World Cup - to Sweden in 2011. The Scandinavian side are unbeaten in the groups since 2007... when they lost to the USA.

    I am surprised by Sweden's line-up. I am a bit disappointed to be honest. We are here to win. You may have an easier path but you want to challenge yourself throughout the tournament. Maybe, though, this is a defence that can come out on top tonight.

    I think it will be an open game. I think the USA will get at least three goals.

    The USA broke the world record for a World Cup win by walloping Thailand 13-0 before following that up with a 3-0 win over Chile which could have been a lot more.

    Sweden, ranked ninth in the world, beat Chile 2-0 and Thailand 5-1.

    The most concerning thing for Sweden is the changes to the back four. I'm thinking they're settling for second - and maybe a slightly easier route to the semi-final.

    Let me remind you that in this day and age we are celebrating the raw emotions these women are showing. We don't like to lose and I certainly didn't back in 2016 [Olympics]. This Sweden team - the shackles have been removed and they have rediscovered their courage.

    A lot of the talk in the American media in the build-up to this match has been about the USA trying to avenge 2016's surprise loss to Sweden at the Olympic Games in Brazil.

    Asked about that match, USA midfielder Christen Press said: "Despite the fact it’s been three years, you don’t forget the taste in your mouth when you fail.

    "There’s a little bit of that that will definitely ask a motivation."

    High-spirited Sweden and USA fans have been arriving in their thousands at Le Havre's Stade Oceane, which is said to be full tonight.

    There's a terrific atmosphere building outside the stadium.

    The stars and stripes are in the majority, but there is also a sizeable section of Swedish supporters, who are almost exclusively wearing yellow and blue.

  16. Alex Morgan - the USA striker who 'transcends her sport'published at 19:41 British Summer Time 20 June 2019

    As a world and Olympic champion, children's book author and three-time cover star of Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit magazine, United States forward Alex Morgan possesses a unique combination of talents and experience.

    The 29-year-old has more followers on Instagram than Virgil van Dijk, Tottenham or Pele - her 6.3 million followers roughly the same as the number signed up to the Royal Family's official account.

    Morgan is in the spotlight more than usual this month as she leads the USA's defence of their Women's World Cup title, but who is the woman behind the superstar billing? And how influential can she be on the continued growth of her sport?

    Read Tom Garry's piece on one of the sport's top stars here.

    Elsewhere in Group F, it's Thailand v Chile. A 3-0 win would take Chile into the last 16. If Thailand win by 15 goals, they'd go through.

    Both teams have made seven changes for tonight's game, although in the USA's case that because they've reverted back towards their first-choice XI, having rotated their squad in their second match.

    Compared to their opening win over Thailand, the holders make just one change, with Becky Sauerbrunn in for injured midfielder Julie Ertz, who we understand to have some pain in her hip.

    Chelsea's Jonna Andersson starts at the back for the Swedes, with her Blues team-mate Magdelena Eriksson on the bench.

    Sweden XI: Lindahl, Andersson, Sembrant, Asllani, Jakobsson, Blackstenius, Ilestedt, Bjorn, Zigiotti, Seger, Schough.

    USA XI: Naeher, Mewis, Sauerbrunn, O'Hara, Dahlkemper, Horan, Morgan, Rapinoe, Lavelle, Heath, Dunn.
