England star Toni Duggan says she thinks the team is on the verge of "something special" ahead of their World Cup semi-final.
"It feels like something's happening," says the winger, who plays club football with Manchester City.
Her side will take on Japan later in the Canadian city of Edmonton.
Their opponents are the reigning world champions, who haven't lost a match yet during this tournament.
"We've made history but we know that if we get to the final of the World Cup... [those will be] memories that last for a lifetime," she told Newsbeat.
"We're definitely part of something special then. It'll be amazing."
