What They're Saying
England head coach Mark Sampson (via FIFA): "The first emotion I'm feeling is a sense of pride for the team. To show that kind of resilience, to come back from a goal down, the players have been immense with their character to come back in that game. The names of these players, this team, will go down in English football history. But make no mistake, this journey is not over."
Canada head coach John Herdman (via FIFA): "As hosts, we're obviously under a lot of pressure. I'm proud of my team and what we've achieved [against Switzerland]; they're warriors who know what needs to be done and give it everything they've got. The fans were unbelievable again; it was just surreal."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Karen Carney has been able to escape a one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation. The 27-year-old has two goals in four appearances for England this tournament. In 14 appearances with Birmingham City last season, she finished with six goals. She'll look for more of the same on Saturday.
England's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bardsley; Rafferty, Bassett, Houghton, Bronze; Moore, Williams; Kirby, Chapman, Carney; Duggan
Canada's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): McLeod; Chapman, Sesselmann, Buchanan, Wilkinson; Schmidt, Scott, Lawrence; Tancredi, Sinclair, Belanger
