England to play favourites USA in Women’s World Cup semi-final after Americans dump host nation France out of tournament in front of watching Jose Mourinho
ENGLAND will face favourites United States in the Women’s World Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
The Americans dumped out host nation France 2-1 at the Parc des Princes for a record tenth World Cup win in a row – with Jose Mourinho watching on.

Megan Rapinoe stuck two fingers up to President Trump this week, declaring she wouldn’t go to the White House if the USA were crowned world champions, and stuck two finishes into the French net tonight.
The first came in the fifth minute as the forward’s free-kick evaded everyone and Sarah Bouhaddi could not react.
And 20 minutes into the second half, the USA cut through the French defence and Rapinoe made no mistake at the back post.
French star Wendie Renard pulled one back with nine minutes to go with a free header from close range to ensure a nervy end for the Yanks.
The hosts had a huge penalty appeal turned down when the ball hit Kelley O’Hara’s harm but the referee waved away the protests as the USA saw out the game to set up a crunch clash with Phil Neville’s Lionesses.
