  1. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 17 mins

    England 0-1 Sweden

    Shambles.

    One ball over the top. Sofia Jakobsson has time and space to shoot. It smacks off the right post and fortunately, for England, bounces back of Carly Telford's back and out for a corner.

    The resulting corner looks dangerous too but England are given a free-kick for a foul on Telford.

    Sort it out ladies!

    Mat: Terrible goal to concede, awful defensive clearance and a weak shot straight through Telford.

    Paul: We insist on trying to play out from the back which is the one area we are short on technique

    England 0-1 Sweden

    Nilla Fischer's back pass is so poor it almost trickles out for a corner but keeper Hedvig Lindahl manages to stop it dead on the line.

    Sweden quickly build an attack down the right but Abbie McManus gets a toe in before the cross is blocked.

    It's poor defending and England do not clear the ball. Alex Greenwood did not connect with it and she laid it into Kosovare Asllani's path.

    She is such a technical player and she puts it in the bottom corner. Carly Telford does get a hand to it, but it was so powerful she couldn't prevent it from going in.

    England had only conceded once in this tournament - against Scotland - before their semi-final defeat against the USA but the Lionesses' back line looks rattled right now.

    GOAL - England 0-1 Swedenpublished at 11 mins

    Kosovare Asllani

    Oh this is an awful goal to concede!

    Fridolina Rolfo swings a cross in from the left and there's absolutely nobody challenging for the ball.

    Alex Greenwood has all the time in the world but she chooses to touch it down, straight into the path of Kosovare Asllani.

    The Sweden striker hits it well and into the bottom right corner. Carly Telford doesn't react quickly enough.

    Fridolina Rolfo, who missed the last match through suspension, gets the better of Lucy Bronze on the left and manages to squeeze a low cross in.

    Steph Houghton is there to mop up but she goes down a few moments later, holding her ear in some discomfort. It looks like she's got something stuck in there!

    It looks like Sweden have got a game plan to get the ball out to Sofia Jakobsson and test Alex Greenwood early on.

    England do look comfortable on the ball at the back but there are times they need to clear the ball quicker.

    Nikita Parris nutmegs Chelsea midfielder Magdalena Eriksson and the Sweden player reacts by blocking her run and sticking an arm out.

    A free-kick is given but Parris has no time for Eriksson's apology!

    Fran Kirby running the length of the pitch in this heat has to be applauded. It's stifling in this stadium today - probably the warmest it's been for any of England's seven matches so far.

    Nervy moment for Carly Telford. She is hounded down by Sweden striker Stina Blackstenius but manages to get the ball away to Steph Houghton on her right... just.

    Andy: The game no one wants to play in, but realistically, the chance to get the semi-final defeat out of the system (rather than dwelling on the defeat until the next game)

    Powered by Tea: Hope Ellen White gets lots of goals today so that she wins the Golden Boot!

    England 0-0 Sweden

    Sofia Jakobsson poses a threat for Sweden with her pace down the wing. She is played in by a lovely diagonal pass and wins a corner off Alex Greenwood on the right.

    It's comfortably cleared by England and Fran Kirby breaks quickly. It comes to Beth Mead on the left but her cross is collected by keeper Hedvig Lindahl at the near post.

    It would be an amazing achievement for Ellen White to win the Golden Boot.

    She has a had a wonderful tournament and hopefully she can get another goal today to put her in the driving seat.
