    Michelle O-Williams: Come on girls. Were all rooting for you. I shall be screaming at the TV again tonight. Let's make sure it's coming home!

  2. Tom Garry

    An immense noise whips up around us as the players emerge in to this magnificent football arena.

    'England, England, England', shout the Lionesses fans.

  3. Alex Scott
    Ex-England international on BBC One

    Steph Houghton is a truly inspiration woman, doing so in the hardest period of her life.

    What speaks volumes is that it is not all about her, it is about the team. That shows the leadership she has.

  4. Sue Smith
    Former England forward on BBC One

    This is about who can thrive under pressure and rise to the occasion? I have not seen England more focused. They are ready.

  5. Right. Let's settle it. Thumbs up if you think England are going to win. Thumbs down for a USA victory.

  6. England v USA (20:00 BST)

    Here come the teams. Steph Houghton breathes in deeply. The atmosphere is ELECTRIC.

  7. Hope Solo
    Former US goalkeeper and World Cup winner on BBC One

    I believe this match will further propel women's football. But in America we focus on the Americans. It would be an outright failure for the USA to come home without the World Cup.

  8. 'Thanks for coming'

    England v USA (20:00 BST)

    Izzy Christiansen
    England and Lyon midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live

    If I'm playing on that pitch and there are 20,000 USA fans screaming, it's only going to make me play better. Thanks for coming over.

    Sarah: Go England!

    Valentina: Got my ENGLAND flag out for the Lionesses tonight and supporting our girls in one of the BIGGEST games in their international careers.

    Ex-England international on BBC One

    Phil Neville trust everything Lucy Bronze does.

    He will say, 'when you see space, I trust you'.

    Phil has said the semi-final is not good enough and the players know that.

  11. 'England have been phenomenal in defence'

    England v USA (20:00 BST)

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The dominant feature of both teams is how they attack, but England have been phenomenal when they have had to defend.

    There is no ill-discipline from any player in possession of the ball and out of possession.

  12. Happy birthday Alex! I think a cake would be enough though? You've already won a World Cup - don't be greedy.

  13. Domino's goes bronze

    England v USA (20:00 BST)

    England's Lucy Bronze is one of the world's best full-backs but before she was a footballer, she had ordinary jobs like the rest of us.

    In fact, Bronze was a pizza chef at Domino's in Leeds while she studied at university.

    Her former work place in Headingley have painted their logo bronze in her honour tonight and former colleagues will be cheering her on.

    "We're all proud of everything Lucy has achieved and are delighted to be able to pay tribute to her ahead of the semi-final."

    The noise inside the Stade de Lyon is unreal. Needless to say, the American fans have brought their A game when it comes to voice and fancy dress.

  15. 'Everything set-up for England win'

    England v USA (20:00 BST)

    Emma Hayes
    Chelsea Women manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

    I think we are all really excited to see what the country will be like if we get to a World Cup final. Everything is really set-up for us to win tonight.

    Football fans, clutching picnics, tinnies and rugs, are gathering in Battersea Park, in front of a big screen, with the chimneys of the power station as a backdrop.

    When the build-up to the match comes on the screen, a whoop goes up in the crowd.

    They're ready....

    Chris Maskery: There is a lot of love for Ellen White in Aylesbury today!

  18. Dion Dublin
    Former England striker on BBC One

    I’m happy with that [4-4-2]. Ellen White doing what she does with Nikita Parris in behind. That’s a dangerous formation. Phil Neville has gone positive. I’m very pleased.

    I don’t think it will change how direct we are down the right with Lucy Bronze. We’ve got a lot of firepower. I’m very excited.

  19. Alex Scott
    Ex-England international on BBC One

    I am actually excited by 4-4-2, some people say see it as negative.

    We need Nikita Parris and Ellen White to hunt in packs and stifle the USA backline.

    Hope Solo
    Former US goalkeeper and World Cup winner on BBC One

    Megan Rapinoe historically doesn’t have the endurance to deal with someone like Lucy Bronze for 90 minutes. I think it's a great decision by the USA boss. Christen Press should have had more minutes than she has.
