I thought Wimbledon finished the other week. This is brilliant end-to-end stuff.
You don't know where to look!
Post update
France 1-1 Brazil
Both sides fancy the three points here. Remember, Brazil will be through if they get them.
Post update
France 1-1 Brazil
A change for both sides. Andressa replacing Geyse for Brazil, with French goalscorer Eugenie le Sommer going off, replaced by her Lyon team-mate Vicki Becho.
Grace Geyoro has an effort at goal, it is straight at Leticia but she opts to push it over the top when she could've caught it.
Debinha's first World Cup goal
France 1-1 Brazil
Brazil's Debinha has scored her first Women's World Cup goal in her sixth appearance in the competition and with her 18th shot.

Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC One
That goal got the fans on their feet, there's a lot of yellow in this stadium.
Hear them now!
It's amazing what a goal can do, it's invigorating.
'Nearly took the roof off'
France 1-1 Brazil
Emma Smith
BBC Sport at Brisbane Stadium
Close your eyes, and you could be in the Maracana.
The celebrations after that Debinha goal nearly took the roof off Brisbane Stadium. Now can Brazil build on that and take the lead?
'Faultless execution from Debinha'
France 1-1 Brazil
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC One
It's bouncing out there. Ary Borges comes more central.
Lucky little ricochet but what a finish from the most experienced of players in that front line, Debinha.
The execution is faultless. A beautiful bit of play really.
Confidence oozing out of Brazil.
'The spark the Brazilian fans wanted'
France 1-1 Brazil
Andy Gray
BBC Sport at Brisbane Stadium
Sorry, Herve. I've just jinxed France big time there.
There's the spark the Brazilian fans wanted, This place has erupted.
GOAL - France 1-1 Brazil
Debinha
Brazil get a massive slice of luck as France have loads of bodies back in their own penalty area, but Kerolin's pass takes a deflection to fall perfectly for Debinha.
But the Brazilian number nine then does excellently to calmly finish past Pauline Peyraud-Magnin and spark huge celebrations in Brisbane.

I see you, small group of Brazil fans in one corner trying to start a Mexican wave.
This game is too good for your nonsense.

France 1-0 Brazil
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC One
Brazil are working hard to win it back but when they do, they aren't making it stick.
They're not stringing more than two or three passes together.

France 1-0 Brazil
Andy Gray
BBC Sport at Brisbane Stadium
Herve Renard is standing as majestic as ever on the touchline, with his now iconic white open-collared shirt.
If things stay as they are, he'll have beaten Argentina and Brazil in the space of nine months at two World Cups.
That's not a bad record to have in your back pocket.
Post update
France 1-0 Brazil
Brazil haven't created much this half. Made for Marta to come on and rescue them?

France 1-0 Brazil
Eugenie le Sommer tries to burst through the middle of the Brazilian defence, but former Arsenal defender Rafaelle Souza does excellently to cover and clear.
Samba silence
France 1-0 Brazil
Andy Gray
BBC Sport at Brisbane Stadium
The samba sounds certainly faded out as the first half has progressed and have yet to fire up again.
You can tell that the Brazilian fans, who are in Australia in huge numbers, are waiting for that one moment to spark their party - and tournament - back into life.
Post update
France 1-0 Brazil
The second half is under way. Can Brazil turn this one around to get a place booked in the last 16 with a game to spare?
