Congratulations to the USA - Lucy Bronze is still howling in England's post-match circle - on Sunday they will play the winner of tomorrow night's semi-final between the Netherlands and Sweden. Whoever loses - well, the Lionesses will face them on Saturday in an effort to retain their bronze medal. Thanks for your company this evening.

But that's the third semi-final in a row where England have failed to progress, and something needs to change if they're really going to be one of the genuine powerhouses of the game.
-
The USA deserved that win - they worked hard for it - but England had their chances and didn't take them. Ellen White is crying as she applauds the fans.

Hugs all round for the USA side then into a massive huddle, and Lucy Bronze is lying prone and weeping.
90'+7
FULL-TIME. The USA are into the World Cup final, England are into the third-place play-off of glorious failure.
90'+6
Daft long ball forward from Jade Moore to nobody in particular.

Parris shoves Lloyd over and gets booked, but that's a cumulation of a lot of little digs.
90'+4
Oh, this is just ludicrous. Demi Stokes drops the ball when she's about to take a throw - and it's a foul throw.
90'+2
Ellen White and Alyssa Naeher are having a real set-to as the England striker continues to run the goalkeeper down.

Millie Bright is off, and deservedly so. What a stupid challenge there on Morgan, studs up, for a second bookable offence, reducing England to ten players.

It was low to Naeher's right. One has to say that was brave from Steph Houghton - the captain - stepping up to take such a decisive penalty in place of Parris, who's not on good spot-kick form and is under pressure. But...a bad kick.
-
And she misses.
-
Houghton to take.
