England midfielder Keira Walsh says the 'pressure is on Australia' in front of a home crowd in their Women's World Cup semi-final.
the quarter-final win over France was Australia's biggest television audience for a sporting event in more than two decades - since Cathy Freeman won gold at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 - with an average of 4.23 million.
"Whatever game we play in we want to win, it doesn't matter who you are playing against. We aren't thinking about spoiling the party. We are fully focused on reaching the World Cup final."England's Euros-winning captain Leah Williamson, who was ruled out of the World Cup with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, flew out to Australia to support the Lionesses in their quarter-final win over Colombia.
"We've been kicking a ball a long time. We did it in our back yards with no-one watching and then, when we all put on our first Aussie jersey, there weren't that many people watching," said Yallop.
