what do england have to do to undo the usa? see england. what do england have to do to undo the usa? i think the usa started well in this tournament. 13—0 was not bad against thailand. when you look at england, it has been getting better and better, like a good tournament football players should play, getting stronger, and the game against norway, that was a walk in the park against a very, very decent team. hope saying they will be cemetery, i think they will be. they will be hiding it, they won't want to let england know about it. but if they get beat in this one, i think this could be the turning that many people have been waiting for for many years, that the dominance of the us is finallyjust about over. you heard it here first from pat nevin. there has been so many good luck m essa 9 es there has been so many good luck messages from back home for the lionesses, and there has been sent good luck messages on social media from a couple of fairly well—known faces. ijust want i just want to wish the lionesses a massive good luc

usa are ahead.o speak to helen who has been watching the first half for us. thank you so much forjoining us. what has been going on? to headers by the usa. they are making this look very easy indeed. they are. it has certainly been an eventful first half i think i mentioned earlier on that it looks like england have not tightened up the defending. it looks like two or three headers which is disappointing. they got a goal and equalised and then the usa got a go back. the second goal can attract england a little bit. but they are still in it so they can tidy things up still in it so they can tidy things up when the second half. let's go through those goals. christen press standing infor through those goals. christen press standing in for megan rapinoe and then ellen white and alex morgan. sta n then ellen white and alex morgan. stan —— start off with that first goal. talk us through it. probably dominic probably a bit of an unpopular opinion. lucy bronze has been strong this treatment but she was a bi

i went full usa.'s attention, the ratings have been huge on television. what is it been like in the usa this time? the world cup has been getting a bit of attention and certainly there have been some political caveats to it all, that are interesting from a news point of view. from a soccer perspective there is no shortage of it. i'm excited that even with the gold cup and the africa cup and the others that the women's world cup in general has been getting a lot of coverage. do you feel like it is crossing over into a far more mainstream audience now? i would love to say that that is true. i think that the people who are fans have always been fans and it is getting easierfor us to see the match is now. we count a lot on streaming services since distribution wise it is not improvement. in northern california we do not have a professional women's team so that closest one is in portland and the women's soccer is not broadcast in our area. so it does need to be streamed. that's not improved at a profession

tell us why the usa are so much better than the other sides?gle that they are still having for equal pay and forfair are still having for equal pay and for fair conditions, are still having for equal pay and forfair conditions, the federation has put money and backed the women's tea m has put money and backed the women's team far more than, and in more ways over a longer period of time than —— than other federations around the world. they pay them salaries because a lot of the players at the clu b because a lot of the players at the club level in the united states don't make living wages. so to be able to really focus on the soccer, on the product on the field, these us players have been able to do that. so, do you expect them to be favourites for the olympics in two yea rs favourites for the olympics in two years time, then? i say whenever you are raining world cup champion and likely ranked number one in the world, you will be the favourites. there will be a target on their back and older european countries now rising powers investing in the

england and the usa, the usa are a very strong team.etting more narrow, they are getting closer together, the margins are narrow now. it is only a matter of time, i imagine, untilsomebody can get past the usa. but a dramatic night. 53,000 people packed into the stadium just over there here in lyon. millions watched from home as all the drama unfolded. this is our report from katie gornall. there was drama, there was hope, but for england it was a familiar story, yet again the world cup dream has ended in tears. "defeat in a semifinal would be a failure," phil neville had said. in the end, england's manager couldn't ask for more. we've come to this tournament, we've done our very best. we've not left anything in that dressing room and i told them there, there should be no tears, tonight, we should be proud. we've touched the hearts of the nation back home and they've left their hearts on that football field so i'm happy. the usa had put england under pressure from the start. and afterjust nine minutes, they cracked, as christen press hea

usa, usa... something that seems to have paid off time.everything, sol representation, equal pay and everything, so i think that with this tournament we are getting a lot of exposure and recognition. this tournament we are getting a lot of exposure and recognitionm would be amazing to see the atmosphere and... if they want it, it would be just brilliant. america are the defending world champions, and most people's favourites to defend their title. but england are no pushovers, this their third consecutive appearance in the semi—final of a major tournament. they didn't get the best start, though. christen press giving the usa the lead inside ten minutes. england responded, and not long after it was 1—1, ellen white with the equaliser. just after the half—hour mark, the usa had retaken the lead. another header, this time from alex morgan, putting them ahead. into the second half, and england thought they were back on terms. but the video referee said ellen white's second goal was offside. but var giveth as well as ta ke offside. but var give

inches offside, the decision, and it inched the usa closer. so close.lled upon again. ellen white once more at the centre of things. it's a penalty. a penalty was the decision. it was a moment for england's captain to step up. step out on, saved! but steph houghton failed to rise to the challenge. emotions were running high and it was all starting to unravel. millie bright, oh. millie bright left england a player down. here comes the red card. and no fairy tale finish for england, for the third major tournament in a row, they've lost in a semifinal. phil neville said this would represent a failure for his side. so much hurt for the players who generated so much hope. katie gornall, bbc news, lyon. england coach phil neville gave his reaction to the loss a few minutes ago. my my players give me everything. we said before the game, we wanted to leave our hearts and souls on the pitch and they did, they gave everything. we've gone toe to toe with the best team in the world. they showed great experience at the end, taking the ball into the corner. we went d

will it be the usa or will it be england? we have team news.de three changes to the side that beat norway 3—0. he started in goal because he has a drop karen bardsley to the bench and carly telford comes in. this is only her second world cup start. he also dropped fran kirby to the bench. and unsurprisingly, he has dropped toni duggan to the bench and brought beth mead and on instead. the big news comes from the usa team because they have made two changes to the side that beat france 2—1. but the big news from the us camp is that their talisman, megan, will not start. instead, kristen press will start. instead, kristen press will start. she has 121 caps but does she have the character and the enigma to match? you can probably see that their seats are starting to fill up behind me in lyon. both usa france and england fans anticipating a huge match and they could witness history tonight because if england do beat the usa, they will be the first senior team in england to get to a world cup final since 1966. # i have to praise you like i should. #

the usa have been crowned winners of the women's football world cup.n netherlands side by two goals to nil. victory at this year's tournament was largely down to megan rapinoe, who won the golden boot with six goals and also the golden ball as best player. our correspondent sarah mulkerrins is in lyon. so this us women's national team are champions at the world cup level, for a fourth time, a record—extending win for them. i think a lot of people though this game, it may be the us railroading this dutch side but it was a lot closer than many people predicted. that first half, well, it was feisty, it was tactical, it was physical. the dutch side really got their tactics right. they gave that american team an awful a lot of questions on the pitch and they went in goalless at the break. it could potentially have been on for a first world cup crown — at just their second tournament of asking for the dutch. but the pedigree of this american side saw our in the second half. and of course it was always going to be megan rapinoe. she has been a vocal advocate

and although it is a little bit, the usa are still so dominantand no a little bit, the usa are stillet. the world cup ended as many predicted it would cot with the usa on top of the podium. we are seeing some of the scenes, a big contingent of american fans and this tournament seems to have generated huge amounts of interest and excitement worldwide. definitely. it has been unprecedented, in terms of its global interest, we seem tv audiences are broken around the world, in the uk a record peak audience for england versus the usa of 11.7 million. records have been broken, there is huge interest. disappointing moments when we saw large amounts of empty seats, but in terms of the atmosphere this evening, we saw the huge atmosphere from the usa fans who always travel in their tens of thousands and make any occasion seem like a home game. and the netherlands, smaller in number but no less vocal. the challenge for football and fifa and the domestic game is to try and keep this interest in the spotlight and generate more fans going to league games, for example. that's the big test now. but

i think the usa. telegraphed as victors of performance for a long time their infrastructure in the women's game has just been ahead of that of a lot of other countries they've won 4 world cups now and they've won 4 gold they really are the dominant power in the women's game now all of the interest in all of this what members of the u.s. national team play their football in the usa which can't be said for many other teams and there were 5 players who were all on the pitch at the end of this game that's krieger noids alex morgan megan rapinoe tobin heath for all of those players were playing in their 3rd world. cup final so that just shows the experience and the quality that they've got an escort there's nobody nobody anywhere near the u.s. is that is correct yeah now i think kind of encouragingly for the rest of the world there is a bit of hope and you know it's fairly well embodied in the netherlands because they were lying on leka martins in this tournament very heavily boss alone a star in just 26 a
