Phil Nev comes across so well in his interviews. Genuinely good guy. As per Phil the USA manager Jill Elis who was born in Portsmouth is a United fan
Sampson only had one idea of how to play, whenever we’d come up against the top teams we’d revert into our shell. I don’t think we will do that on Tuesday, but the big concern in that USA like to hit on the fast counter which I fear we may well leave ourselves exposed to.Sampson didn't want them to play at all though so I don't mean they should go back to that & I think it' really good that PNev wants them to play.
Hoping for England v NetherlandsPredictions for the semis?
I’ll go for England to upset the USA and the NED to beat SWE.
That's the end of the road for England. Zero chance of getting to the final.Predictions for the semis?

She was a doubt for the QF, with a bug - only confirmed as a starter the afternoon of the game. Hopefully she'll be 100% for Tuesday.England v Sweden final and England to win.
My concern is Millie Bright though, seems to get tired easily?
She seems like a jolly girl in interviews..very spontaneous.which I'm sad about because van de Donk is now my favourite player - ever, possibly
(though this is not entirely based on just her footy, tbh)

They will be the favourites no doubt, but hopefully our girls can cause an upset.admittedly I don't know a huge amount about the teams but from what I've watched, I can only see the USA winning this one
I predicted when the round of 16 started that England would stroll through Norway and be, by some distance, the toughest opponents the US faced in the tourney, yet. Still see the US getting through tonight, though.Predictions for the semis?

Weird no RapinoeRapinoe not in USA starting 11, Telford replaces Bardsley in goal, hope she has a blinder tonight (apt to make a huge error on occasion), Beth Mead replaces Toni Duggan on the left, no surprise, but Rachel Daly comes in on right, replacing Fran Kirby, 4-4-2 it looks like.
Injury? Tactical? Who knows. Generally you would play arguably your best player in a world cup semi final. Looks like we may have set up to counteract Rapinoe on our right, with Daly coming in, it will be interesting to see if it's Bronze who pushes forward more during the game. I think we can nick this one if we put our chances away, not sure if Parriss will take the penalty if we get one.Weird no Rapinoe

Press is rapid, guessing they're planning on using her pace against Bronze.Weird no Rapinoe
Pat Nevin said on 5 live she pulled up in the warm up and went over to her coach.Looks like Rapinoe isn't warming up, so presumably it is injury related, after all.
