They have to force turnovers and go straight for the counter-attack once they win the ball back. Like any match which induces feverish excitement days before kickoff, there are also plenty of subplots which make for a fascinating contest. England have improved their fitness quite a bit, but it may be an issue for them to face the USA in this heat here in Lyon, because I know the Americans' sports science programme has been light years ahead of every other team for some time. 'Our managers and operations have scouted out every hotel we've ever stayed in or every potential hotel we stay in, to make sure we've got plan A, plan B, plan C. 'And that's nothing to do with the game. ", Ellis has faced England before, five times since 2014, but never in a major tournament. She lived up to her billing with five goals as the US opened their World Cup campaign with a 13-0 thumping of Thailand but has not found the net since. The US also have a 100 per cent record in France and scored 18 goals, including a 13-0 thrashing of Thailand, at the group stage. Security staff were sent to investigate and they came across an individual watching the session at their Terrain d'Honneur Lyon base from the bushes. Neville was indignant and suggested US coach Jill Ellis should investigate, given that the Americans visited incognito while England were out at training. US coach Jill Ellis told reporters that they were looking at the hotel as a potential base before Sunday's final in Lyon and played down suggestions that such preparedness hinted at arrogance. Morgan (left) and Rapinoe have both scored five times in France. We have to look at her because of the goals she is scoring.". She has also served as interim coach and assistant coach and led the under-21 and under-20 teams. So England should be really concerned about closing her down as well, because their left side is not as strong as their right side with Lyon star Bronze. But the US' record at the World Cup is an intimidating one. Read about our approach to external linking. Former US goalkeeper Hope Solo has suggested England needs to change its pleasing-on-the-eye style and be more direct if it is to beat the US. Neville conceded that scouting the hotel would not give the US an "unfair advantage" in the semifinal. Ellis said: 'I would assume everybody is doing that, you have to plan ahead. Having overseen 125 games, no one has coached more games for the USWNT than Ellis, and only Tony DiCicco has more national victories with 105. 'The only thing I would say is that it's not something I would want my team ops person to do,' said Neville, who declared he had no injury worries ahead of the semi-final.

So that's probably who the two people were. I've studied [Jil Ellis'] her press conferences and the way that she deals with the press and I've studied every single one of their players," Neville told CNN's Amanda Davies this week. I have a new-found excitement and admiration for this England side because of how well they've been doing under Neville over the past 18 months. The two sides meet in the semi-finals in Lyon on Tuesday with England … It comes as security staff at England's training base in France had to remove one onlooker who appeared to be spying on their training session this morning. So in terms of arrogance, I think that's got nothing to do with us. England have played an exciting brand of football in France and won all five games, including successive 3-0 wins over Cameroon and Norway at the knockout stage. England against the United States is a perfect semi-final. Had her family not moved, Ellis has admitted her career path may have been very different. I thought it was quite funny. England will be rightly confident of creating chances against a defence whose weaknesses seldom prove costly because of the team's attacking power. I'm dying my hair purple. A security official rushes off towards the area in which the person is standing in but can't appear to reach them because of a fence. (But they do have a 1am curfew!). Striker Alex Morgan is the team's star name, with multiple magazine appearances, an acting credit in the film Alex & Me and an appearance on the cover of the US edition of the video game FIFA 16 to go with the century of international goals. But the knockout games have proved far tighter affairs with narrow 2-1 wins over Spain and France, with Megan Rapinoe scoring all four American goals. The Manchester City striker has been scoring fantastic goals against great opponents - not just the weaker teams - throughout this tournament, so she's deserving of the Golden Boot. I believe that's testament to Neville's leadership and the confidence he instils in his team. Izzy Christiansen believes the United States are 'scared' of England's challenge at the women's World Cup. That's planning and preparation for our staff. 'I think they (US) are scared,' said Lyon midfielder Christiansen, who missed the tournament after breaking her right leg and damaging ankle ligaments while on international duty at the SheBelieves Cup in March. 'I had no idea where we were headed and where we were going, I didn't even know how we were going to get here yesterday. #USWMNT #Rapinoe ❤️. The USWNT has been the dominant force in the women's game since the first Women's World Cup in 1991 but England poses a real threat after ruthlessly dispatching. First a video of the US co-captain saying, "Fantastic," was how Ellis described her forward's performance in that heavyweight battle. The US is a three-time World Cup champion and has lost just once to England. They are rather more closely matched now, though, as illustrated by the 2-2 draw they played out in their last meeting, at the SheBelieves Cup in March. Yes, Rapinoe scored those two important goals against France in the quarter-finals, after getting two more against Spain in the last 16 - but Tobin has been at the heart of the US attacks throughout this World Cup. Watch live on BBC One or iPlayer, listen to commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, read live text commentary on BBC Sport website and app. They think of that so we don't have to. The US have scored 22 goals in their five games en route to the last four, but the record thrashing of Thailand accounted for more than half of those. 'You feel the hot air behind you, and I think that's exactly how the US are feeling now.'. Neville's side take on the three-time world champions in Lyon at 8pm UK time tomorrow after the US ended the hopes of hosts France with a 2-1 win. "She has gained that starting spot and that's huge. There will be turnovers if England press this USA defence, through Parris and White, and that's the way to beat them. It is the result of a childhood spent in Portsmouth, on England's south coast, and of nearly 40 years living in the US.
