The US team have dropped their captain Megan Rapinoe in a shock move ahead of tonight's World Cup semi-final clash against England - as Prince William and Holly Willoughby led celebrities sending good luck messages to the Lionesses on social media.

US head coach Jill Ellis has insisted that the move was not made for any disciplinary reasons, although she did not rule out the possibility of an injury.

The Stade du Lyon is thronging with thousands of supporters ahead of the 8pm kick-off, as another 10million England fans prepare to watch the action back home on BBC1.

Much like the players themselves, the United States women's soccer team fans were not lacking confidence ahead of Tuesday's World Cup semi-final matchup with England in Lyon.

Odd tied with leading the tournament in scoring and on penalty kicks.

typically coaches will announce someone is injured and when they re expected back. I will believe this is for morale till I find out otherwise.

I'm a naturalized US citizen from England. Rapinoe has made my support for the US in this specific event wane substantially.

Why is the English team called the lionesses? Shouldn’t it be the Lady Bulldogs?

The stylized lion is very much a symbol of English.

A local high-school team here is called the Lady Bulls.
Let that sink in for a moment.
