USA v England SheBelieves Cup

Helen Lander welcome to the Orlando

City Stadium Florida. It has been

quite a warm day. The sun has gone

down and there's a slight chill in

the air. We are moments away from

England's final match of the

SheBelieves Cup, taking on the USA.

You can see them coming out behind

me right there. England with their

fantastic result so far, a 4-1 win

against France, a 2-2 draw against

Germany, England need a draw to win

the tournament for the first time.

I'm quite -- how oppressed have you

been with the Lionesses so far in?

They came out of the blocks so well

against France with a fantastic

performance. They were less

impressive against Germany. Phil

Neville was disappointed with their

passing. They can definitely

improve. We have come here and got a

win and a draw, better than we have

done in the SheBelieves Cup before.

But they are here to win. They are

talking about going to to toe, going

full throttle, so that is what we

are expecting, a full on attacking

performance tonight.

Thank you, Jen,

we will have you back at half-time,

the commentary team is Sue Smith and

Vicki Smart. We will hear from them

in just a moment, but first the

national anthem starting with the

USA, any moment now.

USA, any moment now.

The national

anthem of England followed by the

National anthem of the United States

of America.

"God Save The Queen" PLAYS.

CHEERING

"The Star-Spangled Banner" PLAYS.

# O'er the ramparts we watched

were so gallantly streaming

# And the rockets' red glare

The bombs bursting in air

# Gave proof through the night

that our flag was still there

# O Say does that star-spangled

banner yet wave

# O'er the land of the free and the

home of the brave? #

CHEERING

The crowd are ready and England are

on the verge of history. The first

full of macros within their grasp. A

driver do it but the world champions

stand in their way.

We hope to bring

you a real cracker, Sue Smith. I

can't wait. It just shows how far

England have come. When they played

Germany and drew with Germany who

were ranked number two in the world,

we were disappointed, so that shows

you the quality that England have

now got and the belief they have got

that they can beat the best teams in

the world, whether that is Germany

or the US and I think that is the

positive for Phil Neville and his

Lionesses.

Lionesses.

And how much confidence

that opening 4-1 win over France

have given this England side?

It was

a fantastic performance defensively

and going forward, and how clinical

they were in front of goal. They

made opportunities, and they took

them. The fact that England now have

goal-scorers all over the pitch, it

is not

is not just the Centre permits, but

the midfielder is chipping in, you

have defenders looking dangerous

from set pieces.

I just think it is

a real positive England side from

the fence right the way through to

the attacking line-up. That win over

France gives England the advantage

when it comes to goal difference and

that is why I'd rather after night,

but a draw against the United

States, although they did beat them

in the SheBelieves Cup last year, is

no mean feat, they are to achieve

it.

It is going to be tough, and

everyone knows that. England will be

prepared, but America will come

straight at them. They are very fit

and athletic, they like to get the

ball out wide and get good delivery

into the box. They world-class

players. England will be ready for

that. They have to be brave. They

have to get as much on the ball as

they have done in the last two

games, a little bit better than they

did against Germany, when they were

sloppy, defensively, but they need

that bravery going forward, like

they showed against France.

It will

either be the USA or England who

will win the SheBelieves Cup this

evening. France beating Germany 3-0

in the earlier game. We will prepare

for a minute's silence that will be

held to honour the victims of the

high school

high school shooting in Parkland,

Florida, in which 17 people lost

their lives.

Ladies gentlemen, we ask that you

please rise and journey Marjorie

Stoneman Douglas soccer team and the

players on the field in a moment of

silence, as we honour the lives of

the victims, as we express our

support and solidarity for those

affected by the tragic events that

occurred in Parkland, Florida, on

February 14.

An emotional night for the friends

and family of the students who lost

their lives in the Parkland school

shooting. We saw banners of Alyssa

Alhadeff who played for the school

and a local team. Her team-mates and

family are here today as guests of

the US team. Four changes for

England from the drama Germany,

first choice goalkeeper Karen

Bardsley returns on goal, with

Taylor, Walsh and Kristiansen coming

in. Fara Williams and Siobhan

Chamberlain dropping out, Ellen

White keeps up this after her brace

against Germany. Four changes from

the USA from their 1-1 draw at

France. Carli Lloyd, the two-time

Player of the Year returns for a

250th cap.

Quite remarkable. What a

player she is. She can play in the

defensive role but she is a much

better when she plays that little

bit further up, linking in with Alex

Morgan and the other two wide

players.

A point will be enough if

England are to win their first

SheBelieves Cup. They finished third

at the previous two tournaments

which started back in 2015. The USA

with early pressure.

Holding firm, Leon. This is exactly

what the US will try to do, get the

ball out wide, get the pace out

there and get Deliveroo, as soon as

they get a yard they try to get the

delivery into the box, and they get

numbers forward. England have to

make sure that they are solid and

well organised at the back, which

they were against France and for

huge parts of the Germany game.

Emily Sonnett, one of the four

changes for this evening's game.

First start of the tournament for

Emily sonnet.

The USA throw. Taken quickly. In

four Carli Lloyd, from Morgan.

Wins the throw off Walsh, in

in-place Fara Williams, the

Manchester City youngster. England

deal with the USA threat.

deal with the USA threat. Taylor,

almost on the end of it. Headed up

and not quite away by Davidson.

Davidson, NBN, brings the ball away.

The 19-year-old has impressed in

this tournament against stiff

opposition. Struggling against Jodie

Taylor. Here is Stokes, up against

Emily sonnet. Two hour Manchester

City team-mate busy Kristiansen.

City team-mate busy Kristiansen. --

Isobel Christiansen. Kristiansen

rewarded for a good performance off

the bench against Germany.

Rightly

so, her anti-Rob Walsh came off the

bench and made a difference, they

kept the ball a lot better when they

were on the field. That is what Phil

Neville has shown throughout this

tournament, that, if you play well,

you will get the chance.

Mel Lolohea has impressed. Toni

Duggan had a quieter game against

Germany and paid the price. She's

playing at left-back today, the

former Chelsea player. Was often

used as a wingback for Chelsea.

Offside against Ellen White.

I was

wondering, is he going to select

Ellen White or Jodie Taylor, but he

manages to fit them both in, because

they are both quality players. That

USA backline will get no peace from

them because they will work for the

entire 90 minutes. They will close

down and Harry, they will try to win

the ball high up the field and

hopefully create chances for

England.

England. Away by Abby Dahlkemper.

Interesting dilemma for England as

to how they approach this game. They

were on the front foot against what

seemed like a poor front side, more

defensive against Germany. England

with the big win against France,

they came out and took the game to

them.

But this is the USA. They have

to go for it, go toe to toe, against

them. Show what they are about.

England are better when they go

forward, and when they attack teams,

but then still be disciplined when

you are defending, because you are

playing the world number one.

Rapino scored the winner against

Germany for the USA in the opening

match. Very experienced player.

match. Very experienced player. Up

towards Rapinoe again.

towards Rapinoe again. And the ball

in, looking for Morgan. Cleared away

by England.

They will know these England players

very well, from her time at Chelsea.

Left last month to return to

America. We'll play for North

Carolina Courage, who

Carolina Courage, who won the NWFL

Shield last year. It goes behind

foreign England goalkick.

That was a

pull a free kick from Rapinoe. You

don't expect that, with low quality.

You could see what she was trying to

do, Whippet Inn at the far post. She

just overheated.

just overheated. -- whip it in.

Carli Lloyd, undoubtedly, she's a

fantastic player. We have seen a lot

of her, playing for America. She

performs at the highest level.

Scores important goals. I don't

think she was really at the level I

have seen, for Manchester City.

have seen, for Manchester City.

That

was dealt with by Abby Dahlkemper.

But Ellen White getting forward in

support for Jodie Taylor. It will be

interesting to see how those front

two work together today.

Christiansen can't dispossess her

former Manchester City team-mate,

Lloyd.

I think that Phil Neville

will be expecting his wide players

to join in with the attacking play

but get back and help support

defensively.

A point will be enough

for England to win the SheBelieves

Cup. No foul, much to the

frustration of the home crowd. Few,

dispossess.

dispossess. -- Pugh, dispossessed.

It goes out of play before it can

reach Lawley. We have run out of

pages to write all the accolades for

Carli Lloyd. As I was making my

nose, you have to use your tiniest

writing to squeeze it all in. The

two-time world Player of the Year,

scored a hat-trick in the World Cup

final in 2015 as the USA became the

reigning champions with two winners

in Olympic finals, as well. You have

to say that over her career, she has

done it.

I looked down at my notes

follow, and it is really small! She

is an unbelievable player. She has

won so much. Let's hope she has

acquired one tonight! -- a quiet

one.

The injured Jordan Nobbs has not

travelled to the toilet.

Another

disappointing delivery from a very

experienced player in Rapinoe.

In

the last couple of games her

delivery has been spot on, so she

will be really disappointed with her

start. But you can see that is what

she wants to do, to gain a yard, and

whipped the ball in.

Ellen White will chase it, but can't

keep it in. That matchup between

Ellen White and Emily sonnet, making

a first start of the tournament, the

24-year-old, looks like a good

giving them some joy down that

left-hand side.

England will be

looking to face off every time they

get on the ball. Lucy Bronze was

trying to face. The American

defenders like to shift bodies

across, so that is where the will

be. The

be. The ball from Dunne and Taylor

can't make the most of it.

The two

19-year-olds, Mallory Pugh, has been

very impressive, has started every

game. Morgan can't control that.

Again, behind foreign goalkick.

Morgan, playing in her home

Morgan, playing in her home club

stadium, she plays for Orlando Pride

in BMW SL, and there was a huge

cheer when her name was read out.

That was a cool touch from Morgan.

But she offers that. She will

stretch the play, run the channels,

she worked really hard for the team.

I'm not sure how she has acquired

her black eye. We didn't see her

taking a knock in that draw with

France.

France. France so much improved

against the USA from the debacle

against England in their opener.

They got a deserved 1-1 draw.

You

have to give England credit for how

they performed against France, but

it was probably the worst French

theme that I have seen from any time

that I have watched them or played

against them.

They made eight

changes for the USA game, and it

paid off. They got a roasting from

their coach, as well. Emily sonnet

looks nervous, the right back.

Yes,

very nervy. But she did well to get

herself back. Jodie Taylor took a

couple too many touches. She's

looking for a pass.

looking for a pass.

She has never

been in a major tournament squad,

Emily sonnet. She was on stand-by

for the Olympics. She does play for

the champions, Portland Thorns, but

this is a tough test for her.

this is a tough test for her. The

flick of Stokes.

flick of Stokes. The USA, with such

pedigree in the women's game, in

terms of major tournament titles,

certainly the most successful team

in women's football. Three time

World Cup winners, four time Olympic

gold medallists. In fact, when they

lost in the quarterfinals of the

2016 Olympics to Sweden on

penalties, that was the first time

they had failed to make the

semifinals of a major tournament.

England know what they are up

against. Rapinoe. To Morgan instead.

Walsh, marshalling well. Nice

build-up from the USA, with Rapinoe.

McManus prevents the corner.

That was rather aimless and straight

into the arms of Karen Bardsley,

back in the side today. Siobhan

Chamberlain given her chance against

Germany but it was a shocking

performance for the England number

two, winning her 50th cap.

She will

be disappointed with her

performance. She has done well for

Liverpool. It is her 50th cap.

Unfortunately for the goalkeeper,

when you make a mistake it tends to

lead to go and that is what we

about. It was a combination of

errors. I know Siobhan, and she is a

perfectionist, so she will be really

disappointed with that. But she is

really strong. She will move on, and

she will be looking at the next game

now.

Davidson.

now.

Davidson. England having to

deal with the threat inside their

own penalty area. The USA using the

flanks well. England have to stay

switched on at the back with

McManus, and Millie Bright. The USA

without some big players including

their veteran

their veteran defender,... Bardsley,

diving on the loose ball.

I've been

impressed with the positioning from

McManus. She has just been in the

right place and able to clear the

ball for England. It is tough when

it is a new centre-half pairing. And

yes, they had the Germany game to

get used to each other but it takes

a number of games to try and build

that relationship, that

understanding.

understanding.

England throw-in.

McManus making her debut against

France, first start against Germany,

early in the side after her

Manchester City team-mate withdrew

through injury, in a late call off

to the squad. Pugh wins the throw.

Three goals in three games for

Mallory Pugh. Scored twice in the

5-1 win over Denmark and any last

match against France as well. What

was impressive was that she missed a

very good chance just before scoring

against France. Clearly didn't let

it get to her. And as a 19-year-old,

that is what you want to see, that

cool head and ability to recover

from mistakes. England win a free

kick.

Something Phil Neville has

spoken about, saying he wants the

players to trust him more in regard

to not being afraid if they make

mistakes, as long as they are trying

to do the right thing. That is going

to take time. It's a new manager. It

is a new boys coming into the side.

-- a new voice. You what the players

to express themselves.

to express themselves. And to do

that in the right areas of the

field.

field.

You can hear him on the

touchline as well. He is a very

engaged manager. You staking the

squad to this inland tomorrow. Or he

is allowing them a few hours there.

He says he will be relaxing by the

pool at! Do you rate that as a

post-tournament treat? Sounds great.

I think they have to win, though!

That is what I would say.

Plenty of support in Orlando for the

home crowd. They had lots of fans,

over 25,000 that the second match

for the draw with France in New

Jersey. 14,000 for the opener

against Germany in Ohio. But the

weather for that and for the England

game against France was truly

shocking.

shocking. Throw-in for the USA. The

world champions on top, Sue Smith.

They are, but not creating anything

or doing anything particularly well

with their possession. England have

remained organised, and making it

difficult for them to create things.

Apologies for those technical

difficulties. Rapinoe.

difficulties. Rapinoe. It comes off

Lucy Bond. USA throw.

Dunne takes it. Walsh can't prevent

the corner. And the USA will have an

opportunity to quit this in with

Megan Rapinoe.

Megan Rapinoe. -- to whip this in.

The Queen of assists.

The Queen of assists. She takes it

short, to Davidson. She has Taylor

for company. Rapinoe dispossessed

and the US have wasted that

opportunity. Not sure why you would

play at short when you have a play

of Megan Rapinoe's quality on the

ball, but credit to England.

They

were alert to the possibility. I was

going to say why hadn't England sent

out two players will be short corner

but great work from Jodie Taylor,

who anticipated where the ball was

going to go, and won the ball back

for England.

Lucy Bronze's throw with Millie

Bright. Phil Neville has been

teasing, saying she is England's

joint top scorer along with white

white. Millie Bright's goals have

been own goals.

I am sure she will

give some back. She wouldn't have

just taken that.

They have been having a go at his

clothes saying he wears dad clothes.

That probably come from Millie

Bright to be honest or Jill Scott,

one of them. That is what it is

about, isn't it.

Wary of asking you... Looking down

at my attire, you might take a dig.

England throw.

Kirby. Very quiet so far.

Dahlkemper. Stabs it away, safety

first from the USA with white white

lurking. England corner. .

That is what you can't want. You

want Fran Kirby in and round the

box. She has such quick feet. When

you are running at pace, any touch,

she can win her team. She looks

lively. Looks like something is

going to happen when she gets on the

ball.

The Chelsea player to play the

corner. Plays it short.

And England's turn to waste an

opportunity.

Ellen White, wide, Dahlkemper.

Lloyd with the pass to Rapinoe,

easily covered by Lucy Bronze.

Lawley.

Bronze making the run up against

Davidson. This will be a test for

the youngster. Bronze keeps it in.

Get there ahead of Dunn.

In the end the decision goes the way

of the USA. First time we have seen

Lucy Bronze get forward down that

right-hand side.

It has been more on

the left-hand side, Demi Stokes

getting forward. I don't know if

they were saying that was a foul.

Did the ball go out of play? I don't

think it did.

Plays football for lion, the --

Lyon, the former Manchester City

player. Three goals in her 19

appearances since moving. When you

can be that regular in a double

treble winning team, back-to-back

trebles for Lyon, that shows just

what a good player Lucy Bronze is.

Squeeze through to Ellen White. USA

can counter. Here is Rapinoe.

Horan continuing her run. Think

about a shot. Back to Rapinoe who

thinks about a shot.

First effort in anger, on the

England goal from Megan Rapinoe.

A

bit too easy there, England just

allowing US where just to play the

ball round, too much time. Megan

Rapinoe took a touch. Was able to

pick a spot, and again probably

should have done better.

The quality she has got. I think

that is what is lacking, the final

ball from both sides.

Gill Ellis

watching on. An English woman, born

in Portsmouth. The coach of the USA

team moved to America as a teenager,

which is where she started playing

football.

Here is Dunn. Horan. Lovely skill

from Rapinoe. She is still going.

Collected by Alex Morgan.

That is the ball across. Vital

header by Demi Stokes.

White. Helps it on.

USA still coming forward. Dahlkemper

goes down. No free kick, a USA

throw.

Sonnett. Pugh. Up against Stokes

again. Ball behind.

The story of the youngsters really

Mallory Pugh, and Fran Kirby who

have arguably been the players of

the tournament as we watch that

lovely backheel from Megan Rapinoe.

You can see what Fran Kirby is

trying to do, she is trying to get

in and round Jodie Taylor at every

opportunity. She is trying to link

the midfield to the attack. America

are just stopping her from getting

on the ball.

Your player of the tournament so

far, Vlad Chiriches?

Ellen White I

guess is. Kirby is coming forward

now. She is met by a wall of red

shirts. She has been excellent.

Ellen White was outstand manager the

last game, her work right and

finishing, but in the first game

Jodie Taylor was excellent. Nikita

Parris.

There is Pugh looking for

Rapinoe.

Horan kicks it in.

Lloyds TSB, back to Pugh -- Carli

Lloyd.

Another one, Demi Stokes.

So solid

for England and Manchester City,

part of that Manchester City side

that won the title in 2016, as the

invincibles, the season unbeaten.

She equalised against Birmingham in

the final game of that season to

ensure they did win the title with

that achievement.

Jodie Taylor, just looking a little

isolated.

Yes, and that is what I

was saying, Vlad Chiriches is trying

to get in and round her. Ellen White

is doing so much work, we have not

seen much of Mel Lawley, againing do

a lot defensively and off the ball.

We want to see them on the ball a

little bit more. You can see when

they are press, there is a front

four for England. If they can go as

that unit and win the ball high up,

I would back them to score against

this American back-line.

As it stands this score line would

be enough, England need just a point

to win the SheBelieves Cup for the

first time.

It will be either England or the USA

who lift the trophy at the end of

this match. Victory for the USA will

seal it.

France will finish third, Germany

will finish bottom.

Lloyd looking for Pugh and it might

fall to Morgan. Bardsley takes it

away from her, England have two

players down. Lucy Bronze, kicks the

ball out of play. McManus and

Stokes. But there was confusion in

the England back-line there, the

ball forward. Initially looked like

it wouldn't be a threat but Mallory

Pugh almost got in. . There

Pugh almost got in. . There was Demi

Stokes and Abbie McManus.man Manus

did the right thing though. She

played the ball back to Karen

Bardsley and they managed to get it

clear.

-- McManus. Hopefully both will be

OK.

Just a small collision.

You can see Millie Bright came out

initially to press the ball.

Here is that collision.

I think it

wasman Manus's stud caught her on

the way through.

Clattered into by

Mallory Pugh who is certainly not

shy of putting herself about.

The record is the youngest US player

to score at the Olympics and she

netted against Colombia, in 2016.

That would have been controversial

if USA scored from that.

You can see

she looks to beat Stokes.

So full of confidence. Real good

player.

The fearlessness of youth.

Yes.

Did you find that as a teenager,

making your way in the game, that

that is just the case, you don't

think about things so much. ?

Yes, I

think so, I made my debut at 17 and

it was case of, I just wanted to

play football. I didn't think I was

playing for my country. It is as you

get older you start overthinking

things.

Here come the USA with

Rapinoe who has been at the start of

so many driving runs forward.

Forward. Horan. Bluebird

dispossesses her. England are hemmed

in. Stokes and McManus are OK.

Davidson wins it from Taylor. Bronze

in, Lawley coming forward. Just

delayed the pass. Frustration from

White and Kirby b as you say, sue

Smith, they went forward as one,

just a bit too much of a delay.

I

think it was an extra touch, the

players made the run, if you are

going to give it to Jodie Taylor,

maybe do it one touch earlier, if

not there was a big switch on the

far side with Kirby getting forward.

England are getting players forward.

They are committing players.

Certainly don't think they are going

for the draw.

That is a risky strategy.

Yeah.

A

source of huge frustration to the

average football fan as well. A

point would be enough to win the

tournament.

Apologies again for the technical

difficulties.

We will soldier on, hopefully you

are still with us.

Sonnett seems to have settled into

this game.

this game. Dahlkemper.

Looking for Morgan. Bronze will

leave it for a former Manchester

City team-mate Karen Bardsley. Just

over half an hour gone. Loose ball

from Bardsley. McManus just about

gets there, but that is sloppy from

England. I was going to ask you, Sue

Smith how Phil Neville will assess

this half so far. He won't be happy

with that.

They did well to get

themselves out of trouble, but,

there is no need to put themselves

in danger like that.

As you can see, I think he is

saying, that ball shouldn't have

been in there. Sometimes, it is

great to play nice football, but

sometimes it has to go. That was one

of those situations.

He has talked so much about bravery.

Winning mentality. England go to the

next level, believes they are on the

verge of something special.

And I suppose when you are a player

who has won as much as he has in the

game, despite his lack of managerial

experience which was talked about

before during and after his

appointment. Up until they beat

France 4-1. When you know how the

win as a player, that has to be an

advantage, when you try and instil

that into a team that like England

just need to take that final step,

become winner, like Germany, like

the USA.

Straight when when somebody

who has achieved that, you do

believe and you do want to listen to

what they have to say.

Lawley flags offside.

He has some handy connections as

well. David Beckham giving the

prematch team talk ahead of the

Germany game which was a surprise

for the team, organised by Phil

Neville.

I think he spoke about what

it feels like to play for his

country, and again, that is going to

have an impact, that is going to

help inspire you when you are going

out to the field. Seen so many

selfies the girls with David Beckham

after the game. I don't blame them!

Would qu have taken one?

100%. I

would have been star struck.

He may well have been star struck

back, Sue Smith, 93 England caps.

England free kick.

Just getting a bit scrappy but

England won't mind that as we

approach half-time. Still 0-0.

McManus.

Walsh.

Dispossessed.

Here comes Horan.

Tries the early ball again, Rapinoe

closes it down, Bronze will allow

Bardsley, nervy moments in defence

for England.

They have to be careful

that I don't overplay things.

Keira Walsh is getting caught in

possession in the middle of the

park. Lucy Bronze. Getting caught

out wide.

Move the ball quickly, one and two

touch like they did against France.

Christensen, good ball. Finds

Lawley.

Looking for Taylor, away by

Davidson, hit Lawley on the way back

out.

Against Dunn.

Still going. Kirby is an option.

Back in Stead to Lucy Bronze. Here

is Walsh. Kirby making the run.

Walsh delays. Bronze. Lawley,

England try to work patiently

towards that US penalty area. Walsh

swings it in looking for Ellen

White. Clear hand ball. Surely.

US have the ball any way.

White may have hurt herself in that

attempt.

Got say what a delivery from Keira

Walsh. That is a definite hand ball

from Ellen White. I don't know if

she said she was fouled. What a

spot. Ellen White knew she couldn't

get near the ball. I think she tried

to get something on to it.

Lucky not to get booked there.

Absolutely.

One of those instinctive striker

actions Sue Smith?

I'm not sure

about that. I think she was falling,

I think. I'm not sure why she put

her arm out.

She has got away with

it. The USA did come away with

possession.

Here is Davidson.

That shows with

one quality ball at the far post,

she had the space in the end.

She

was closed down.

Horan. McManus.

Lawley.

England still yet to win a major

tournament. This doesn't count as

one, it is a friendly tournament in

inverted commas, but an incredibly

prestigious one. All it means to win

the tournament outright for the

first time against the calibre of

opposition they are facing.

We will anaesthesia no a moment.

Jodie Taylor could be in here,

Davidson does well as does Naeher.

USA clear the danger, but that one

ball Sue Smith.

That is the ball.

They have players who can play that

quality ball. They have players in

advance that will play off the

shoulder, play in between the centre

halves and they have the pace to get

on the end of it. You think if they

can find the right I suppose it is

like quality of pass, England will

be in.

be in.

USA try the same the other

end. Runs away from Alex Morgan.

Bardsley cleared away from Horan.

Lloyd is having a quiet game. Can't

bring it down. Christensen.

Stokes.

White, again trying to set Jodie

Taylor away. Daid son just gets

enough on it.

-- Davidson. Identical moves from

either side coming forward. Here is

Ellen White. Good strength.

Stokes.

Walsh.

And Kirby, just can't reach it.

0-0 as things stand. England will

win the SheBelieves Cup. What would

it mean for the national team?

I

think it is a real confidence boost.

The fact that England get invited to

these tournaments now show how far

they have come and they are now

compoting, challenging against the

top teams in the world. --

competing. That gives you a boost

when you go into a World Cup,

because you know you have beaten

those team, performed against them.

It would be massive for the team,

for Phil Neville and it is the first

thing that he will have won. The

first tournament he has gone to and

won it, so, yes, there be a few

celebrations.

We have just put the

stamp of his authority on this side

as well.

There were questions raised about

his experience in the women's game.

The selection process. None of that

will matter if he can win this

tournament and proved himself in his

early games, he needs to go on from

there. It would be the perfect

start.

Bright will chase this back to

Bardsley. Safety first. USA throw.

Millie Bright the only England

player to start every game at Euro

2017. She has really broken into the

national side. In the past couple of

years. Dahlkemper. Ball in. Behind

by Horan.

Scored the winner for Portland

Thorns as they won the Championship

at this very stadium, so fond

memories for Lindsey Horan.

Lucy Bronze doing enough to put her

off.

USA finished last at the SheBelieves

Cup last year.

Won it in the inaugural edition back

in 2016. Bright. Gets the ball away,

USA throw.

Morgan a danger. Her 138th cap this

evening, as Horan takes it down and

Lucy Bronze gets it away for

England, again more danger for the

USA. England have given it away.

Horse than back up to her feet in

the penalty area.

-- Horan. Dunn. Rapinoe. Looking for

Horan again. Rapinoe takes matters

into her own hands. Just kept out by

Bardsley and stabbed away by

Christensen. The USA still come.

Sonnett behind for a corner off

Ellen White.

Harum-scarum moments for the England

team. Karen Bardsley did well to get

down and palm the ball away and away

from the USA players that were

coming in.

I think Lucy Bronze had a good

challenge. Ellen White got back.

Scary times though.? The World

Champions cranking up the pressure

before half-time. Rapinoe's corner

inadvertently headed away from goal

by Carli Lloyd.

No England player up there though.

Dahlkemper. They will be happy to

have survived that little spell. The

USA, they are not relenting. Pugh's

ball away.

White to Kirby. Turning into

Rapinoe. Stokes. Rapinoe full of

running.

Pressuring, Bright, big claim from

Rapinoe for a penalty. Not given.

Still the USA come forward. Long.

Pugh. The home fans not happy with

that decision. It was risky from

Millie Bright. Wait and see a

replay.

Dahlkemper.

Intercepted by Bronze. Christensen.

Taylor. Davidson clears. Rapinoe,

again, she is every where.

USA attacker.

Here is Pugh. Up against Stokes.

Lloyd making the run ahead of her.

Pugh still going. Still Mallory Pugh

and still, and just wide. The show

of brilliance from the teenager and

England are hanging on.

They really.

In the last five minutes, USA have

been excellent. This is such good

play. She can go outside, she can go

inside. She has such quick feet. At

the end of it I thought that was

just in. I thought it was going to

sneak in. That was unlucky for her.

Yes, she is both footed. Got a great

engine. And just that yard of pace,

it gets her away from the defender.

Takes the nick off the post as well.

Encouragement from all the home

fans.

One minute of added time, England

will be happy to hear the half-time

whistle.

Phil Neville looked as if he might

take that himself for a moment.

Largely it has been a positive half

from England.

They will be concerned about the

defensive lapses. They haven't been

made to pay.

That is more like what we have seen

from Mallory Pugh in this

tournament. Megan Rapinoe,

32-year-old, you wouldn't know it.

Not at all. Danger from both sides.

Dahlkemper with a free kick. And

that will be... Half-time. 0-0

between the US. A and England.

And they have Karen Bardsley to

thank for it in the end.

Gill Ellis will be pleased with how

her side finished the half.

Phil Neville with a bit of work to

do at half-time after what was

initially a promising half an hour

or so.

I think he will be relatively

happy apart from possibly the last

five, six, seven minutes where the

United States have started to get on

top and show their quality. He needs

to make sure defensively they are

organised in the second half and

when they go forward they need more

quality.

A point will do it for the

second half.

Stick or twist?

I would think you

have to go for it. I don't think you

can hold on for a point. It is toory

Kirby, when you lock -- to risky.

They have a lot of players who can

change the game if he needs do that,

but you would see the quality of

America coming into it in the final

few moments of the half, so, they

can't do that, they immediate to

make sure they go for the three.s if

you like.

Half-time. USA women nil,

England women nil.

Welcome back to Orlando, all square

at the break, if things stay as they

are England will be crowned

SheBelieves champions.

are England will be crowned

SheBelieves champions. That was a

first half of few opportunities.

Tfrnts

It was. Defensively England

have been well-organised. I have to

say I have been so impressed with

Abbie McManus. She started two games

against Germany and US and she has

been outstanding she has been

blocking, calm in possession, you

mention there has been few chance,

we had white it who with maybe a

wandering hand.

I thought that was

England sparking into life.

Pugh,

Mallory Pugh, she nearly took the

lead for the US. That is worrying

that, the US did start, finish the

half more strongly. We need to get

the ball out to Mel Lawley, when we,

she was hugging that touchline and

they finally got her in the game,

because she wasn't involved for long

stretches we caused them problems,

so that is what we heed to do keep

the ball, make it stick up front.

Get on the ball in midfield, keep

possession a bit better and keep

doing what we're doing, fantastic

save by Karen Bardsley towards the

end of that half.

We are back with

you in a moment. This tournament is

an historic one for one woman. Casey

Stoney played for Arsenal. Chelsea.

Played for England over 100 times

and captained England, but it has

always changed now.

You are sat in front of me for the

first time wearing coaching kit. Has

it sunk in you have retired?

Yes,

definitely. I am 36 soon. I have had

a lot of injuries in the last year.

I missed the entire Euros and I

worked so hard to get there. I

didn't think I had another

tournament in me, most importantly,

it was the right reason at the right

time. You know, this opportunity

came up, and, you can't turn it

down. You know. Phil Neville spoke

to me, asked me if I would be

interested, and would I come and

work alongside him, and you know,

for me that was incredible. Football

has been my one constant through my

entire life and to think about

stepping away, with nothing in front

of me, petrified me. You know, so

this was really natural, and when I

was coaching with Mo, I didn't once

think I wish I was still playing. I

am excited. Excited. That told me I

was ready to say goodbye to my

playing days.

What changes have you

soon within the England squad?

He is

big on standards, you know, you keep

things tidy, you leave places as you

found them. You make sure you are

early, not on time. The little

thing, never be too big to do the

little thing, that is important,

especially international football we

get things right.

He is very driven, very focussed. He

is keen on players driving dressing

room, driving the environment.

Is

that new era for the Lionesses?

I

feel like it is. We have been to two

semifinals.

England have completed

their most successful World Cup

finals ever, with a third place

finish. A Bronze medal and a

watershed moment.

Success is going

further than that, so it is a new

era, we are looking forward, we are

massively about qualifying for the

World Cup. Doing well in this

tournament. See what next summer can

hold.

The is from third to first in the

world.

What to happen?

I think with

his tactical knowledge and what he's

going to implement on the pitch,

that is the difference. We are not

far away. We have not been far away.

It is how much further they are

willing to go, how much more we can

get into the girls, because this is

the hardest bit now.

Casey Stoner

loving life on the coach bench.

Barros Camel, what difference do you

think she has made their? She is a

wonderful bridge between the players

and the coach.

She is one of six

players we have got on the player to

coach programme.

Who else? Rachel

Yankey, Jill Scott, Jo Potter. You

caught me in there, but it is the

players I know who want to go into

coaching and we want to make sure

that between now and when they

finished playing, they have their

licenses and they have experience

with England teams. Casey is on an

apprenticeship for a few months with

the England team but she has been a

marvellous bridge and terrific

support for Phil.

And she looks like

she has done the transition quite

easily. How important to Phil

Neville is it our player like

alongside him?

She's had an

incredible career. She has been

there and done that. She maybe knows

more about the history and context

of some of the teams and players

they are coming up against. She's

always been a passionate student of

the game as well as a great player.

You can see from looking at the

dugout, he goes and speaks before

making changes, he involves her in

the process and already I think that

partnership is working very well.

You are also responsible for the

appointment of Phil Neville, do you

feel vindicated in that appointment?

Jake Emmitt and for some stick when

it first happened.

I sure did. We

are at the early stages of this.

Fill himself knows he has a long

journey to go on. But he has been

tremendous and another's

relationship with the players. His

positivity about the way that he

wants to play. I am really pleased

for him. Whether we win or not the

we are still at the beginning of the

journey and the journey is to win

the World Cup in 2019, and he is

really determined. He's learned a

lot about his players over these

three matches and he will use that

knowledge to help build the team for

2091.

Baroness Campbell, Jen, thank

you for joining us. We are going to

head back to England to meet a young

girl who recently signed for

Liverpool ladies. Her dad is Chris

Kirkland, and Sue Smith has been

along to meet both of them.

When did you first start playing

football?

Are just watching my dad,

and then I just started, like... I

wasn't really that good.

wasn't really that good.

When your

dad is playing you are not really

interested.

I was always a dancer.

interested.

I was always a dancer. I

didn't think that I like football.

didn't think that I like football. I

preferred dance. Then I kind of went

more to football.

Your dad has put a

bet on you to play for England

before you. Have you tried to do

something similar?

I tried to put a

bet on photo to play for either

England or Scotland, I tried to get

a bet on it but they didn't get back

to us, and now she has signed a

mother is probably not much point. I

will probably still try and do it.

My dad put a bit like that on when I

was 13, and got 100 to one. If I had

gone into the bookies with them we

would have got about 1 million to

one! Because I was, if you saw me

when I was 13, they would be like,

really?!

What made you want to be a

goalkeeper?

I found out that I was,

like, accident prone. I am just

throwing myself about everywhere. It

was, like, I forget how, like, big I

was because I was, like, really

tall. I would, like, walk into

walls. Instead of running down the

stairs I would fall down the stairs.

Then I went in goal, I think it was

in school, and we had a concrete

playground. At 1.I died on the floor

forgetting that I was on concrete

and from that point on I was, like,

I want to be a goalkeeper because I

was just, like, fearless at throwing

myself on the floor and I quite

enjoyed it, I don't know why!

Do

your friends say things like, your

dad is Chris Kirkland?

When I went

into the juniors I realise why

everyone was coming up and saying,

my dad is Chris Kirkland and I was

like, yet, I know, I live with him!

Good save by Chris Kirkland. Does

she have the attributes to become a

top goalkeeper?

Think she does. Shot

stopping is probably her best

attribute. She has much to do on her

distribution and talking but she has

gone to Liverpool and with the

academies they try to get them

playing out from the back, but she's

picking up slowly. She knows she's

got to work hard at that. She has

always been a Liverpool fan so it

was special when she signed. But I

told her that the hard work begins

now.

What's it like training with

the Academy? It is exciting. When

you think you're going to train with

Liverpool, at first it was just

like, amazing, kind of thing but I

have been better at getting good

with my feet, kind of thing, because

my dad says you have to be good with

your feet to be a goalkeeper these

days.

Who was the best goalkeeper?

Probably the German goalkeeper. She

was just very imposing. When you

would go one at versus one against,

you'd be thinking, like...

A bit

scary?

Like Peter Schmeichel!

What

do you like about goalkeeping?

I

like my shot stopping. Goalkeeper is

the toughest position on the pitch.

Very unforgiving. One mistake and it

is in the back of the net, but the

very good ones make less mistakes,

and that is what it is. Coaching is

a big part of it, but she has two

improved, to train hard. You are

going to make mistakes and it is how

you respond, instead of feeling

down, save the next shot.

You must

be proud. She has worked so hard.

She has done at herself. And she's

on her dad was like footsteps, but

she has got the talent herself,

she's got the habit, she has worked

hard, and I just hope that it can

poorer.

What is your dream? -- that

it can continue poorer. What is your

dream, is it to play in a Cup Final

for Liverpool?

I want to play in the

World Cup one day as well.

Fantastic. It's the FA Cup final.

This is the winning penalty.

Pressure!

Pressure! Quality! Absolute quality!

Do you want to represent England or

Scotland? The pressure is on!

The Premier League show is back

after its winter break this week.

You will hear from Danny Welbeck

about the rivalry between Manchester

United and Liverpool. It's also on

Radio 5Live at Saturday my side. And

the Six Nations returns with piles

against England on Saturday

afternoon. It is all to play for, in

the next 45 minutes. Can England win

the SheBelieves Cup? Our commentary

the next 45 minutes. Can England win

the SheBelieves Cup? Our commentary

team can tell us. As things stand,

they will. It is 0-0 with the USA at

half-time. That would mean that

England and the USA both up five

points for their three games but

England, by virtue of that big win

over France in their opening game,

would win the SheBelieves Cup for

the first time on goal difference

six substitutes allowed for each

side in this tournament. Sue Smith,

should Phil Neville change things

around early in the second half?

I

would leave it for 10-15 minutes but

I would not a surprise to see the

likes of Toni Duggan come on, these

are players that can come on and

change a game. Plus the amount of

work rate that Ellen White did in

the last game and has done in this

first half, Melissa Lawley on the

other side, it is a tough job

because your getting back defending

then you have to try and get forward

and help Jodie Taylor out, so I

would not be surprised if he makes

changes partway through the second

half.

We are under way. A draw or a

win will do it for England. We will

see them left the SheBelieves Cup.

The USA have two win. It is 0-0.

The USA have two win. It is 0-0. And

again, it is imperative that England

start the second half solidly,

although a nervous clearance from

Karen Bardsley and the USA will hope

to start the second half like they

finished the first, very strongly.

Solid, with the throw-in. Behind

front early corner, inside the

opening minute of the second half.

-- Sonnett with the throw-in. It

will be Megan Rapinoe, who played

the corner short, the first corner

of the game in the first half. We'll

see swing it in this time? Two

England players out there this time.

That was looking for Davison. Lloyd

was coming in behind her. It goes

behind for England goal kick.

I was

watching for Lloyd, I couldn't see

her in the area. She started really

far back outside the area, trying to

make that late run, when nobody

picked her up. If the delivery was

right, she could have been in there.

Making a 250th appearance for the

USA this evening. Mellisa

Hollingsworth Flag offside.

Frustrating for England. They got --

Melissa Lawley, flagged offside. She

was so impressive in the 2-2 draw

with Germany. Did enough in that

match the keep her place for this

third and final game. But Toni

Duggan and Nikita Parris on the

bench. Toni Duggan playing very well

in the opener against France.

Nikita

Parris looking lively as well.

That's a real luxury for Phil

Neville doubt, that his former

players are all playing well. It

must have been a typical decision

for him.

for him.

Barnsley just about get it

away. And there was a smile from

Mallory Pugh, and a grimace from

Abbie McManus.

Just a really long,

direct ball, straight on to Mallory

Pugh. She must be fast because Demi

Stokes isn't slow, and she was able

to beat her in a race.

Second corner

in quick succession for the US, from

Megan Rapinoe. It is swung in high.

Away by Lucy Bronze. USA keep it

alive. Mallory Pugh got the

execution wrong. Morgan with the

backheel. Lawley will bring it away.

She can't keep it in. And the USA

cranking up the pressure. They know

they need a victory if they are to

lift the SheBelieves Cup. England,

under all sorts of early pressure.

And it is breaking down going

forward for Phil Neville's side.

That was a foul on Fran Kirby,

surely. Not sure of the referee has

given it. Yes, she has given it.

Bronze, two walls, who is

dispossessed to easily by Horan. --

Walsh is dispossessed to easily.

Alex Morgan with eight goals in the

last ten games for the USA. D1 and

total in 138 appearances. Prolific

striker -- 81 goals in total.

Crystal Dunn is foul. USA, free

kick. Keira Walsh, only 20.

Proficient player for Manchester

City. Plays regularly for them.

Taking a little bit too much time on

the ball in this match. She will

have the space and time she

sometimes has in the WSL. McManus

making sure that the header back

from Millie Bright doesn't fall to

Alex Morgan.

If you take more than

two three patches they are there,

they are stopping from turning.

Jodie Taylor will chase this. Alice

Anaya is out early. She is so good

at dictating the play from that

defensive midfield position for

Manchester City, but this is a whole

other level. The toughest test you

can face in woman's football, the

USA, the world champions, on home

soil, as well.

She is an

unbelievable player, Keira Walsh.

Despite her young years. Good

vision. She just protects that back

four.

four.

Here, we have the early double

double -- double substitution and it

is Toni Duggan and Nikita Parris.

Phil Neville, mindful of how the USA

have started the second half.

Melissa Lawley making way for

Duggan.

Duggan. Hasn't had the impact that

she did against Germany.

she did against Germany. And Nikita

Parris comes on for Jodie Taylor.

Ellen White through the middle.

That

is what will happen. She will be

that pivotal player, Ellen White. I

think she is better, centrally. She

has been outstanding in the last

game. She held the ball up well.

Flag goes up against Nikita Parris.

Disappointing for England from an

attacking point of view, too many

offside is this evening. Phil

Neville, he will not be happy about

that. I think he is laughing about

the incident earlier. He wishes that

he has is shin pads on.

Unintentional from Megan Rapinoe.

I'm sure that Phil Neville gave as

good as he gets!

good as he gets! Dahlkemper. The

USA, on beaten in their last 11

games. -- unbeaten. Last time they

tasted defeat was at the tournament

of nations last summer from

Australia. Similar tournament to

this, or slightly less prestigious

teams, going by the world rankings.

But some decent teams. Japan and

Brazil also enrolled.

But some decent teams. Japan and

Brazil also enrolled.

The USA came

second in that tournament to

Australia. Might have been caught a

little late, there, but play allowed

to continue. It only takes one,

though.

It does. And the home side

are taking a very high line, but

when you notice that, gives you an

extra yard. The pace that they have,

they don't need to be getting caught

offside. I understand that you are

playing on the shoulder. You are

just trying to get that little bit

extra. They don't need to do that.

It is just frustrating when you're a

midfielder trying to play that ball

through, and the forwards get caught

offside.

Rapinoe. To Horan. Up

against Lucy Bronze. Looking for

Morgan. The header takes it away

from Carli Lloyd.

from Carli Lloyd. England getting

bodies back. Davidson.

bodies back. Davidson. Some pace on

the right-hand side. Stokes. England

bring it away. The ball over the

top, looking for Ellen White. All

the way through to Naeher.

Just that

weight of the past that has been

lacking for England. The weight of

the past has got to be perfect or it

just goes straight through to the

goalkeeper.

Just over 35 minutes to

play. If it stays like this, England

will win the SheBelieves Cup for the

first time. They only need a point.

But the USA are looking dangerous.

The touch from Lucy Bronze plays her

into trouble. Laid off to Rapinoe.

And a good save my Barnsley. The

second time she has kept England in

the game.

Good, strong wrists from

Karen Bardsley. She takes a big

touch, Lucy Bronze, thus you want it

in their? But then it is a poor

touch from Lucy Bronze. Karen

Bardsley makes amends with a good

save, down to her right. It was a

powerful shot that could have

sneaked in at the near post. Rapinoe

with the corner. Very low, and dealt

with by Walsh.

Done chases back --

Dunn chases back, pursued by Nikita

Parris.

Parris. Hope Solo, the legendary US

goalkeeper, not officially retired,

but was suspended in 2016 after

calling the Sweden team who beat

them in the Olympics "Cowards". She

has not played since for the US

national team. It is hard to see how

that relationship can be repaired.

So, Naeher is trying to prove that

she can be the number one goalkeeper

for the US and fill some very big

shoes.

You can't afford her ability

as a goalkeeper, Pope solo,

unbelievable goalkeeper. Quite a

controversial character.

controversial character. -- Hope

Solo.

That were similar to the effort she

had against France early on. When

she found the back of the net. Toni

Duggan, shooting early. And not too

far away.

That's why she likes

playing on the left, because she can

cut in on her favoured right foot.

She is trying to curl it into the

far corner. Just couldn't get enough

whip on it.

It just gives the USA

something to think about, Sue Smith.

England have not sent in many shots

on their goal.

Not at all. If you

think that your players going to

take it early. Morgan making the

run, how little deflection, and it

has gone in, and it is another own

goal! England fall behind to the

USA.

And again the defending is

questionable. Megan Rapinoe created

the opportunity. Barnsley and Millie

Bright, between them, could not get

it away. USA one, England nil. And

as it stands, the USA will win the

SheBelieves Cup.

You can see Megan

Rapinoe, she has so much time and

space to whip the ball in. It takes

a deflection off Abbie McManus. You

think, are they talking? Are they

communicating? Millie Bright doesn't

need to stretch for it. It is an

easy take for Karen Bardsley if

Millie Bright doesn't watch it. She

does touch it, unfortunately. It is

another own goal.

England's third

own goal of the tournament. Hugely

frustrating. Lucy Bronze Bell said

behind. All three own goals have

been scored by Millie Bright.

Sometimes there is not much you can

do about them, Sue Smith, but as you

say that was a decision, and she

made the wrong one.

The other two

were very unfortunate. Especially

the one that hit the back of her

heel, she didn't know anything about

that, but that was a decision. You

wonder if it is in her head, if

Karen Bardsley shouts to, which I'm

sure she would have done, and that

is just an easy take.

I wonder if

the deflection and settled.

Without

a doubt that would have had an

impact.

Can England hit back

immediately? Nikita Parris, up

against Dunn. Getting a second bite

at the cherry.

at the cherry. USA, goalkick. After

the USA took the lead against

France, France equalised within

three minutes. Can England find a

way to hit back? You have to say on

the balance of play, Sue Smith, it

is this for the USA.

Definitely.

They have played themselves into

trouble, though. Parris again claims

for the corner and doesn't get it.

England not making the most of that

opportunity, but good awareness by

Crystal Dunn, the former Chelsea

player. The fact that England have

gone a goal down and they are

showing that resilience to try and

get themselves back into the game...

They know they can do it. They did

it twice against Germany in the last

match, to draw, 2-2.

match, to draw, 2-2. Here's Lucy

Bronze. Intercepted.

Bronze. Intercepted. Allie Long

intercepts and brings it away.

Horan. Up against Parris who is

screaming for everything and getting

nothing. You can't fault her desire,

Nikita Parris. What does he do now?

Nil he's got to continue with how

they are playing. That's just an

unfortunate own goal.

His players

need to be better on the ball. There

have been times they have got

themselves into positions and maybe

made the wrong decision. Whether

that is being caught offside,

playing the wrong ball, playing an

overhead pass, the quality just

needs to be better in that final

third. How he has set them up, I

think, is OK.

He has more options on

the bench, the likes of the

experienced Jill Scott. Farrer

Williams as well, if he wants to

change it up in midfield. Rachel

Daly, another forward option. But

the two key forward players have

come on, you would say, Toni Duggan

and Nikita Parris.

They need a bit

of height in there, especially for

set pieces, and just some real

energy from the middle of the park.

The clearance from Naeher collected

by Duggan. Up against Sonnett.

Christians are looking for Parris

who has space and headed straight at

Naeher. In fact, it is given as

offside. Again, Nikita Parris is

just peeling off the last defender

and finding that bit of space.

England found a way to win against

the USA at the SheBelieves Cup last

year. They need to find a goal from

somewhere, if they are to get the

points that will see them with the

trophy for the first time. At the

moment, the SheBelieves Cup is

coming home to America. France won

it last year. Ellen White will

chases. -- chase this. USA throw.

chases. -- chase this. USA throw. So

much travelling involved in this

tournament, as well. Games held in

three different host cities. That

may come into Phil Neville's mind,

as well. Looking to get some fresh

legs onto the pitch at some point.

She has been quite today.

I think

they have identified her as key.

USA

coming forward, looking for Alex

Morgan. Too much on it for them to

keep it in. More good work from the

19-year-old Mallory Pugh.

There is a confidence about the way

the USA are moving the ball.

Bright will have to clear her head

after that third own goal of the

tournament for her.

Kirby.

Space for Parris, Dunn wasn't

covering the run. Nikita Parris.

Dunn clear, Bronze almost

dispossessing Rapinoe. England pick

it back up through Walsh.

Christensen. Christensen: Good

pressure. Duggan. Stokes getting in

on the attack. Haven't seen too much

of that today.

Christensen's ball in and White was

unmarked.

Naeher brings it away but the USA

are not coping with the balls in the

box.

I think when England can get

Toni Duggan or Nikita Parris out

wide or your full-backs overlapping

and they can come infeed and they

get good deliveries into the box,

they are not picking up the players

very well. Ellen White there, free

header, if she had known she had

more time, with her ability. She

probably should have done better.

Crystal Dunn playing at left-back,

is not a full-back. She is a winger,

a forward player. She did play a

wing-back for Chelsea during her

time there.

In the spring series. But as we saw

a couple of moments ago, she just

let Nikita Parris far too much

space. Alex Morgan will chase this,

this could be a killer second goal

for the USA. But Morgan can't find

Rapinoe and Stokes clears away.

England living on the edge, they

have to push forward, they have to

go for it. Here is Duggan.

Looking for Kirby, headed away by

Dahlkemper. Parris and Duggan, doing

what they have been brought on the

do. If will is a route back in to

this game for England it looks it

may come from those wide areas. They

have made an impact. Both have pace,

both of them want to try and beat

the full-back.

England as things stand will finish

second.

In the SheBelieves Cup.

It would still be their best finish

at the tournament but they want to

win. You only need a point. It is

against the World Champions, they

know they are so close. But there is

hope.

They will want to win. The

manager is a winner, the players are

winners.

They will certainly give everything

now.

USA. Carli Lloyd.

The two time world Player of the

Year.

Nominated last year as well.

Christensen playing on the shoulder

of the defence. Kirby still going.

Will certainly give everything now.

USA. Carli Lloyd.

The two time world Player of the

Year.

Nominated last year as well.

Christensen playing on the shoulder

of the defence. Kirby still going.

Parris is "Why didn't you play it to

me?"

They are both arguing. Fran

Kirby wanted Nikita Parris to run

out wide, to take a player away.

Whereas Nikita Parris wanted to ball

so she was trying to come infeed. It

is better from Kirby. I know it was

a poor finish but picking the ball

up in between the lines and driving

at the defence. You can see MP

wants the ball straightaway --

Nikita Parris wants the ball

straightaway. Just miscommunication.

Goal against France in the opening

game, Fran Kirby was her 111th goal

in 111 games for club and country,

as the USA win a free kick.

Regardless of whether she has been

really in the game tonight, it is a

remarkable record.

Yes.

It really is.

Allie Long. Not too

happy with the left -- referee.

The USA, have a set piece. Taken

quickly. England sleeping. Here is

Dunn.

Too easily past Parris, floats to it

the back post and it is wasted.

That is why you have to remain

focussed for the entire game. They

just do things quickly. They are

clever player, that is why they are

number one in the world. They will

take free-kicks and catch you off

guard.

She was nominated for the US Player

of the Year Lyndsey Horan, won by

Ertz Ertz. She has been nursing --

Julie efforts. She has been nursing

an injury. -- Ertz.

20 minutes to play. England need to

find a goal.

If they are to earn the point. That

would see them lift the SheBelieves

Cup. As it stands, the USA will be

the champions.

For the second time. Davidson.

Kirby. That is the free kick. Then,

Parris concedes one out of

frustration. From the foul on Long.

I was going to say the same. The

referee has let quite a lot go. I

thought that was a foul on Fran

Kirby. Couldn't see it from that

angle.

The foul was given for the Nikita

Parris. Just frustration.

Davidson. Trying to put pressure on

that US back-line, and it is working

in a fashion.

Naeher needing to race back quickly

to prevent that ball going out of

play.

Urn tern o uncertain as to who to

distribute it to. England need to

find any way they can, to unsettle

the USA who have shown glimpses of

weakness at the back.

The hosts will be happy enough to

stay in possession. Davidson.

Anticipated by Bronze. Morgan.

Christensen. Robbed by Rapinoe.

Fouled by Rapinoe.

The scrappier it get, I am sure the

USA won't mind, they are not happy

to sit back, they know one goal

would change it. A goal from England

without put them back in possession.

. The more that England start to

commit more players forward. How

quickly the US can break. Rapinoe

dispossessed by Bronze. Loses it

herself. The England standing

captain -- stand in captain, who is

Alex Morgan, past Bright. Past

McManus. Who clears away from Pugh.

England's defence having to work

hard.

The USA make a substitution. Allie

Long will depart.

Houara hue -- Huerta sure -- Sofia

Huerta replacing her. It is an

interesting story, Huerta. She is a

former Mexico international. Never

played a competitive game. Born in

the US, but played for Mexico at

youth and senior level after failing

to break in through the US youth

teams.

Switched allegiance in September and

became the only player to play for

and against the US soccer team, as

Rachel Daly replaces Fran Kirby.

Another throw of the dice from Phil

Neville. Each side able to make six

substitution, so he still has to

play with.

She looked lively in the

last game. Had an opportunity.

The ball where the USA want it. Deep

in England territory.

Brian wins the corner.

We have our own band, the USA with

theirs. Clearly enjoy that as well,

in fact it is a goal kick much to

the disme sure of the home fans --

disme Ulloa -- displeasure.

15 minutes to play. England need a

goal.

If they are to win the SheBelieves

Cup. They just need a point.

Toni Duggan has gone nor central

since Fran Kirby has gone off.

-- more central.

Whether she is playing as a two with

Ellen White white or just behind.

Damilola Taylor on the -- Rachel

Daly on the right-hand side.
