That latest Trinity Rodman chance came after Filippa Angeldahl gave the ball away in midfield with a loose pass - not the first from a Sweden player today.

They have been sloppy in possession so far.

Trinity Rodman, that's the out ball for the US! Again she seizes on a poor ball in midfield, takes on her full-back and cracks in a rising shot/cross which the Swedish keeper again does well to push clear.

There are chinks in the US armour. Sweden are trying to exploit them.

Trinity Rodman takes a whack and is handed some tablets as she gets a bit of treatment. US coach Vlatko Andonovski takes the chance to hand out some advice to his players on the sideline. Can they lift it?

Sweden keep the pressure on but the US deal with Jonna Andersson's deep free-kick pretty well.

That's a quality delivery. It's so difficult for everyone, the defenders, the goalkeeper.

All in all, very well defended again by the USA.

Does keeping that corner out count as Alyssa Naeher's first save of this World Cup?

Good ball whipped in, right under the crossbar and Alyssa Naeher does well to claw it out of the crowd!

Signs of life. Now Sweden look dangerous but the pass is delayed and when Stina Blackstenius can shoot she's crowded out. The early pass was on...

It comes from a cleared ball that falls straight to Rodman. Sweden drop further and further and invite her too shoot.

It's a shock for Sweden to give away possession like that.

First effort on target! A clearance is charged down and the ball spins kindly for Trinity Rodman. She drives at the Swedish defence, and cracks in a powerful strike which is straight at Chelsea's Zecira Musovic, who can punch it away to safety.

Better though...

R Staggs: As Carly said, Sweden play very narrow, so USA have to use those wings. This has all the makings of a classic.

Much like many a heavyweight boxing match actually, we're still waiting for this one to catch fire. Nobody has landed a shot yet, as the US start to grab a bit more control in midfield.

A rather cagey game so far, two heavyweight boxers still sizing each other up.

The USA fans have been the noisier so far, although there is a pocket of yellow-clad Sweden supporters behind one goal who have made themselves heard.

Better from the States, Trinity Rodman drifting inside and finding Emily Fox on the overlap but the right-back is unconvincing and doesn't get a cross in. Needed to be sharper there.

The crowd come alive when Alex Morgan gets on the ball just outside the area but her ball sprayed out wide is poor and Sweden can deal with it. It's the team in yellow who look the more composed in these early stages.

It's been a positive start from both teams but USA can't keep going through the middle. Sweden will eat everything up.

At the moment it's very direct and very easy for Sweden.

US keeper Alyssa Naeher elects to come and punch the corner away and does well. That's a good early sign of authority.

The US are happy for Sweden to have the ball in their own half and then press hard once they cross halfway. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd does well down the right to win a corner, where Sweden can be such a threat of course.

There has been a change in system from the USA - instead of the 4-3-3 seen in the groups, this is more of a 4-2-3-1.

Julie Ertz and Andi Sullivan are playing deeper, with Lindsey Horan pushed into the number 10 role between Trinity Rodman and Sophia Smith.

Could that enforced change, due to Rose Lavelle being suspended, improve the USA's fortunes?
