    Millie Bright was so committed in both tackles and it is so unfortunate that England are down to 10 players.

    Ed: Brave, but that was a weak pen under huge pressure!

    Liz: Football is such a rollercoaster!

    Thrillho: Surely 10 minutes of stoppage time for the VAR delays

  4. RED CARD - Millie Brightpublished at 21:42 British Summer Time 2 July 2019

    England 1-2 USA

    She's shown a second yellow and off she goes.

    This is going from bad to very bad.

    Millie Bright, who has already been booked, comes clattering into Alex Morgan. That's surely a sending off.

    I wanted Nikita Parris to take that penalty but Steph Houghton stepped up as the captain. She just did not strike it cleanly enough.

    As the USA players go and hug Alyssa Naeher in celebration, but the USA goalkeeper screams 'go, go' and urges them back out on to the field.

    Pure drama inside the Stade de Lyon. The crowd are engrossed!

    It's happening again. Four years ago it was an injury-time own goal. And now it's an 83rd-minute missed penalty.

    There's still time though...

    England 1-2 USA

    Oh noooooooooooooooooooo!

    Steph Houghton's spot kick lacks power and it's saved in the bottom left corner.

    The replay shows she gets a slight touch from behind by Becky Sauerbrunn. Is she going to give it!?

    That was impossible to see in normal time!

    England 1-2 USA

    She just missed the ball!!! I can't believe it. The referee is having none of it. She signals for a goal kick.

    It's gone to VAR though...

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 79 mins

    England 1-2 USA

    Is it a penalty?!!!

    Fran Kirby slips it through to Demi Stokes on the left. She is onside - just - and cuts it back across the centre.

    Ellen White swings a leg at it and misses the ball. She goes down and appeals for a penalty!

    The announcer on the tannoy confirms there are 53,512 people inside the Stade de Lyon.

    There are a few empty seats at both ends behind the goal but still a brilliant crowd.
