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.

US Women’s soccer nearly lost its future federal funding, I’d bet.

You're kidding, right? The federal government funds our soccer teams?

I think a lot of Americans are rooting for England because of her. Maybe they figured it out but it’s too late. I hope England wins.

The US National Team gets federal grant money as far as I know.

The US National Soccer Teams are connected with the US Olympic Committee .

I may be wrong, but I think there is federal money in the mix for training facilities and team training sessions.

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

I'm rooting for England. Hateful witches on the US team need to lose.

Dropped her as captain, pulled her from this game, or kicked her off the team?

I’m rooting for Brazil because they have a player named “Everton” which is my favorite team.

Americans who root for England are not treated well here. Their property is seized and they are sent to Canada. Even the Loyalists who went to West Florida declared for the USA during our second dust up with the Beef Eaters.
