    I think we're talking Dam av Nordstjärneorden - a Dame of the Order of the Polar Star Dave. We're into added time...

    Dave: If Sweden win this, then whatever the Swedish equivalent of a knighthood is, Musovic just earned one!

    Oh my goodness, wow!

    An unbelievable save and what a ball from Lynn Williams. Alex Morgan gets on the end of it but what a save from Musovic. She's been unbelievable this game.

    What a save! Again! Zecira Musovic does superbly to keep out an Alex Morgan header which looked destined for the back of the net...

    The US deal well again with a Sweden corner and Filippa Angeldahl blasts the loose ball well wide. Into South Yarra.

    Sulaimon: The USA's finishing has been very poor. Alex Morgan has had little or no impact in the opposition box. The game has penalties written all over it.

    Given that Sofia Jakobsson shot is Sweden's first official shot on target tonight, it means Alyssa Naeher has now officially made a save at this World Cup - after around 355 minutes of play.

    Anon: Following the Sweden-US game on live blog. Carly Telford is doing an amazing job as commentator: Clear, concise, demonstrates deep professional knowledge and experience. Really enjoying it!

    Sweden finally make Alyssa Naeher work, Sofia Jakobsson cutting inside and firing in a shot which the keeper pats down. Better, but too little too late?

    Getting in a good position but shooting wide, then being flagged offside.

    That's the 2023 World Cup for Alex Morgan all over. Frustrating and underwhelming.

    A great ball releases Alex Morgan in behind the Sweden defence, she slices it wide but the flag was up anyway.

    A double change for the Swedes as on come Sofia Jakobsson and Lina Hurtig.

    Captain Kosovare Asllani and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd come off.

    You look at the clock and it does rush you, it does panic you. It's about being patient now to get that little bit of quality and end product.

    It's been a while since we last had a shot. It tells you this game has been played in midfield.

    Ten minutes remain. Of normal time. And let's be honest the extras feel very much en route. The pace has gone out of the game now, tension and nerves surround the players.

    It's all very predictable now. USA are carving out half chances while Sweden are trying to go out wide.

    That Kaneryd turn was the sharpest moment of attacking skill we have seen from Sweden all game.

    Which says a lot about how much Swedish attacking skill has been lacking tonight.

    Sonnett had way more time than she realised and could have placed it into the corner.

    Sweden need to change things very quick defending down the right. Lynn Williams has injected something new.

    Ahhh, almost lovely down the Sweden right as Johanna Rytting Kaneryd chops inside Crystal Dunn but her cutback is not up to scratch. It's been that sort of game as at the other end Emily Sonnett rattles a shot well over the top.

    Our first glimpse of Lynn Williams is a lively one as she blasts down the outside on the right wing and floats in a testing cross but there's nobody there to profit. She then links up well with Sophia Smith too. Bright intro.
