That was a naughty challenge by Kosovare Asllani, she caught Julie Ertz very late there.

The Swedish captain will want her team to raise their game and lead by example, but she is on a tightrope now.

Julie Ertz clears down the line and is caught late by a sliding Kosovare Asllani, who goes into the book. Tasty challenge.

The USA have to use the momentum from the end of the first half.

Sweden need to find a way to be more threatening in the box, they didn't really have any threat in the first half.

The winners of this one face Japan in the quarters on Friday. Who can get their noses in front in this second half?

The Sweden players had a huddle on the pitch before kick-off for the second half, while the USA players sprinted back to their positions.

The Americans look like a side with their tails back up - but they need a goal to show for it.

And we're up and running again.

England coach Sarina Wiegman has just suggested in an ITV interview that Keira Walsh could play for England on Monday. Which is exciting news.

Greetings Roger, and any other followers from the 'left.'

Trinity Rodman has been on the right of the US attack but is very much the standout performer so far. Born in 2002, is she named after the character from the Matrix do we think?

Her dad, if you didn't know, is NBA legend Dennis.

Trinity Rodman looks like she wants it. You want her in one-v-one situations.

She wants to get as close to the box as possible. She's what you want in an attacker.

Roger: It's 2:40am here on the left coast of the USA. This expat enjoying some actual football from USA.

I don't really see much [from Sweden]. I see a team who are not playing out, they're tucking in.

This is a team trying to play for set pieces. It's obviously worked well for them this tournament. There's no cutting pass into midifeld. I don't really see what the game plan is.

Both sides have now failed to score in the first half in three of their four games so far so maybe we're all set for some fireworks after the break.

Knockout football tends to be cagey of course. High stakes stuff.

It's been a really strong performance from the US. In other games the midfield looked like they didn't want the ball. But today they're having so many opportunities through the middle.

I think Sweden were happier after the first 20 minutes. They looked threatening and the USA struggled to get any possession. But since the 30th minute it's been all USA.

Sweden have not looked themselves and the USA will be delighted with that.

Goalless at the break, but a half which showed that the USA remain a real force.

Sweden are really struggling to get hold of any sort of possession at the moment.

True enough Richard, it ain't what you've got it's what you do with it. But there's no doubts that the US have looked much the better side in this first half.

Richard: Re 32 minutes, Oxford had 70% posession v Cambridge yesterday and lost 2-0.

When you slow it down the elbow looks even worse. But you can see it's all part of her movement as she runs.

Jonna Andersson needs some treatment after wearing an arm to the face, as we enter added time. Two minutes, plus some more for this stoppage.
