BBC Sport's football expert Rachel Brown-Finnis gives her predictions for the Women's World Cup semi-finals.
I backed Sweden to beat the USA and I backed them to beat Japan because they have that knowledge and history of being in World Cups and the latter stages of major tournaments.
They came second at the Olympics and it's not by luck. They know how to win and get results. Amanda Ilestedt scored a goal just when they needed to against Japan. They have alternative ways of playing and can pop up with goals from a corner or a free-kick too. They don't always need to control possession.
It will be such a different test against Spain but it's amazing neither of these teams have won the World Cup before. A lot of players in that Sweden squad will know it's their last World Cup and they have come so close before and not won it. This is their chance and they will be desperate to go all the way.
