1301: The North Americans are not messing around as Chalupny warms the hands of Andreia with a long-range effort.

1300: We're off bang on time in Hangzhou.

1257: If you were with us yesterday you'd know that the winners of this game will meet Germany in Sunday's final in Shanghai. The losers will face 1995 champions Norway in that all-important third/fourth place play-off - also in Shanghai on Sunday.

1255: Remember this game is live on BBC Two and on the BBC Sport website if you prefer pictures to words. You could probably even set up your screen to watch it and read my nonsense at the same time.

1252: Hope Solo is not happy. She said: "I'm not happy - not one bit." I told you she wasn't happy. Her brother Hans was apparently too distraught to comment.

1249: The big news ahead of the game was the USA's decision to drop goalkeeper Hope Solo in favour of Briana Scurry. Coach Greg Ryan put the switch down to the way Brazil play - he's expecting their keeper to make plenty of "reaction-type saves" - and he says Scurry is the best in the world.

1245: But this is not about me - it's about you. It's your special day. How do you think the game will go? Fire me over your views by dropping me a text on 81111 or get involved on 606. Remember keep it clean and you might get published.

1241: Welcome back for another dose of wonderful Women's World Cup action. On the menu today is the might of the US of A and everyone's second team - Brazil.
