Paul, Pontypridd:

Watching coverage of one of France's group games, you interviewed Rachel Daly. I thought "she looks familiar". A quick Facebook and Google search later, I realised that a young Rachel Daly was in my school - Saltergate Juniors. She was a year below us but played alongside me up front for the school team! Playing boys a year older than her, Rachel definitely scored the lion's share of our goals. #ItsComingHome

It's a big night for England right-back Lucy Bronze, who is playing in front of her home crowd at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais stadium, where she plays some of her club football.

Bronze, who has never lost a game here, enjoyed many memorable wins on this turf on the way to lifting the Champions League and the French league title in 2018-19.

She will soon be joined here by England winger Nikita Parris, who has signed a deal from Manchester City, and the pair have been linking up together down the right plenty of times already at this World Cup.

Bronze's performance against Norway led to Phil Neville calling her the world's best player and she scored this beauty of a goal to make it 3-0.

More of the same tonight please Lucy!

When my centre-back partner Steph Houghton cleared the ball off the line after my backpass was intercepted in the quarter-final win over Norway, I didn't need to apologise to her.

Don't get me wrong, it was a huge relief, especially as it came late in the game after I had been through hell in the build-up to the match with a virus.

The last 10 minutes, when that moment occurred, were hard. I was tired and running out of energy and, despite all that, I knew it wasn't good enough by my own standards.

But Steph didn't say a word. Why? Because no matter what happens, she has my back. We both knew that I'd made a mistake, but she didn't feel the need to have a go at me.

To get you in the mood for tonight's match, it's worth tuning into BBC Radio 5 live at 18:00 BST for a big build-up with ex-England international Alex Scott and former US goalkeeper Hope Solo.

Oh Steve... If only you had asked.

Steph could be lifting the World Cup on Sunday!

Steve Chamberlain, Loughborough:

I was working at a conference at St George's Park while the Lionesses were in residence. I happened to stumble across a couple of the players. One was Alex Scott, my daughter's favourite player. I asked her if I could have a selfie and the other player said: "Do you want me to take the picture for you?" The picture was duly taken, and I thanked the players. Later on in the day I discovered that the other player who had kindly taken the picture was Steph Houghton! How embarrassing to have not been bothered to ask the England captain for a picture with her too! Sorry Steph! Come on the Lionesses!

Over the last few days, BBC Sport asked for your help to gather memories of the England squad.

If England's march to the semi-finals has been quietly impressive, then the United States have thrown a bonfire, lit the fireworks and arrived on the back of a rocket.

From the second they stepped onto the pitch in France, they have been tearing it up - setting standards and breaking records along the way.

Their opening victory over Thailand - a merciless 13-0 mauling - was a statement they were here to win and they haven't really taken their foot off the pedal.

Comfortable wins over Chile (3-0) and fellow semi-finalists Sweden (2-0) saw them top Group F before a nervy 2-1 win over Spain dragged them into the last eight.

But any sign of weakness from that last-16 match evaporated quickly as the USA saw off tournament favourites France in a blistering 2-1 win in Paris.

They arrive at the semi-final stage as the queens of women's football. And they don't intend to give up the throne.

After marching through the group stages - finishing top of Group D with a 100% record over Scotland, Argentina and Japan - England faced a favourable last 16 tie with Cameroon.

The African side, competing in just their second World Cup, couldn't match England's quality and in a game filled with controversy and drama, the Lionesses came through as comfortable 3-0 winners.

That set up a mouthwatering quarter-final tie with Norway, who had beaten outside favourites Australia in a tense penalty shootout.

It was England's first real test, against a confident Norwegian side bursting with experience, skill and familiarity.

The Lionesses proved unflappable yet again - another 3-0 win in the bag and a fourth successive clean sheet.

They have not been perfect by any means. England have shown sloppiness at the back and inconsistency while leading. But they have raced into the last four with ease and that is a sign they are really here to do business.

England boss Phil Neville said it would be considered a "failure" if they don't beat the defending champions the USA today.

The Lionesses, ranked third in the world, have never gone beyond the last four at a World Cup but Neville says "it's all about winning".

"Nobody cares who loses a semi-final," said Neville. "No-one cares about silver and bronze - it's the gold medal everyone wants.

"My players now want to win. If we don't get the right result, we'll feel the disappointment and we'll see that as a failure.

"That's not me being negative, that's just our expectations, our belief and our confidence."

Remember Spygate? It's happened again!

Poor old England were out training when at least one employee from the US camp was seen looking around their hotel in Lyon.

What secrets could possibly have been lurking, I have no idea, but USA boss Jill Ellis indicated that they were looking at the hotel as a potential base for Sunday's final.

Neville played down any suggestions of spying when he was asked about it but he did say it was "not something England would do".

"It's not an unfair advantage; it'll have no bearing on the game," said Neville. "I actually found it quite funny. I just thought: 'What are they doing?' It's not etiquette really, is it?

"We're happy with our hotel. So I hope they enjoyed it."

Uh-oh.

Okay so the United States are pretty good. But so are England.

Phil Neville's side have won their last six World Cup matches, an ongoing national record. They have also won 10 of their last 11 - the only blemish is that semi-final defeat to Japan four years ago.

England have won back-to-back games by a 3-0 margin and have kept four consecutive clean sheets in France.

That means they have gone 371 minutes without conceding a goal at this World Cup.

England's last appearance in the semi-finals ended in heartbreak and this is only their second time in the last four.

The USA are seasoned semi-finalists. In fact, they have never failed to reach this stage.

It's the eighth time the United States have been in the last four and they have gone one step further on four occasions - including the last two tournaments.

If England are to pip them to the final, they will have to break the USA's record-equalling run of 10 successive wins at the World Cup.

The States have gone 15 games unbeaten and have won their last six knockout matches - equalling another record set by the Germans in 2003-2007.

In fact, the USA have lost just once in their last 43 games in all competitions - a 3-1 defeat to France in January.

No pressure then England. Jeez.
