The Lionesses have done their homework according to head coach Phil Neville. He knows that Argentina pose a different kind of threat than Scotland did in the first match:

"We were planning to play against a team sitting back and defending a bit deeper than Scotland.

"They know they will be playing in tight spaces, limited room and we've worked hard on our final third play in the last few days.

"They are strong defensively and it's up to us to break that defence down. We know we must defend well as well - their two best players are attacking players.

"We must make sure our players in the final third are relaxed and free to express themselves. The games that we've studied Argentina we don't think we've seen them as organised and determined as they were against Japan.

"We're under no illusions as to how tough this game will be. Man-to-man marking, aggressive and we need to show the same quality we did against Scotland to get a result."

Carly Telford makes her World Cup debut in just under 30 minutes for England. She was in the England squad the last time the Lioness played Argentina at the 2007 World Cup.

She has been used more and more by Phil Neville in recent times having played two of the three SheBelieves Cup games in March.

After being in the England squad for four tournaments and a 12 year wait to make her debut the Chelsea goalkeeper finally gets her shot.

Playing in a World Cup is a special occasion for any player but in the Argentina squad there are 14 players who are amateurs.

That is one example that helps to explain just how special being at this World Cup is to them and about how far the Women's game has yet to go.

10 minutes to go until kick off, England are big favourites but Argentina have proven they can cause an upset. 

Who's your money on tonight?

The players are head out of the tunnel and onto the pitch. The Lionesses look determined but this is but no means an easy game.

'God save the Queen' comes next and echoes out over the arena.

England 0 - 0 Argentina

England start the match, they boot it long for Parris who sends a ball into the box from the right hand side and Bronze works her way into the box and heads the ball wide of the goal. Quick start for England.

Parris uses her pace to run into space past Eliana Stabile on the right again. Her cross into the box is cleared but England have spotted a weakness on Argentina's left wing and they'll continue to exploit it.

Lucy Bronze is taken out by Ruth Bravo and lands awkwardly. She grimaces as she jogs back into position but Argentina are happy to play a physical game and are throwing themselves into tackles. Bonsegundo tries to slip Jaimes in behind England's defence but to no avail.

Moore switches the play of the ball quickly with a pass out to Beth Mead on the left wing. She uses her pace to get past Sachs before running the ball to the byline and letting it go out of play.
