England are aiming to make history as they prepare to take on the USA with a first ever women's World Cup final squarely in their sights, as a landmark tournament moves towards a nail-biting climax.
The World Cup in France has generated record TV audiences for the women's game and Phil Neville's side come into Tuesday's clash against the reigning champions in Lyon with more people than ever expected to tune in to see the Lionesses push to go one better than in the previous two editions, when they lost out in the semis.
"You get to these moments in life and you think grasp it with both hands, both feet and all your body and that's what we've been saying to the players: don't get to a semi-final and have any regrets," Neville told reporters on Sunday.
"I want to see smiles and I want to see freedom, and I want to see us play the way that we can."
"I like the individuality both on and off the field and I think she's a world-class footballer."

"I think my whole British culture growing up is still with me for sure and I'm grateful for that because I don't think that had I grown up in another country that the passion for football would be where it is."
"I find that a lot of times when I stand up for this team or with equality within the sport you're not necessarily going to reap all the benefits but your hope is that the next generation will."
