    A very late booking for Julie Ertz for blocking off a run down the side. Can Sweden make the most of a set-piece?

    Emily Fox takes a knock and takes an age to get to her feet. Nearly two hours of World Cup football is taking its toll.

    Anon: Watching currently in Gosport, UK. Sweden for sure to win in penalties.

    Anon: Following SWE-USA from Rhodes - what a fight from Sweden! Heroines all.

    Sulaimon: In this form, the Sweden goalkeeper Musovic will be key in the penalty shoot out.

    That's 11 saves now for Zecira Musovic. Sweden make a change, Stina Blackstenius comes off and on comes Rebecka Blomqvist.

    No that can't be a penalty. Way too soft. This game can't be decided on that!

    It's the USA looking lively now. Sophia Smith looks a threat through the middle, twisting inside and going down under a challenge but there's no real appeals for a foul.

    I'm glad I'm not Swedish or American. It's a very nervy moment.

    When you're playing these matches you don't look at the clock, you just try to fight for each other and not make a mistake.

    There was talk in the live text earlier of Zecira Musovic getting the Swedish equivalent of a damehood for her performance.

    She deserves to be crowned queen by now.

    Unsurprisingly there are some tired-looking legs out there now. Can we conjure up a winner from somewhere?

    The Swedish wall. You shall not pass!

    She does her job and stands up tall again.

    Drafted in for a Sunday morning 0-0...

    What a save again! Sophia Smith takes a great touch inside the area and flashes in a shot which - you know it - is saved by Zecira Musovic.
