The Nadeshiko have won every game at the tournament, conceding just two goals in that time.

As ESPN's Paul Carr notes, despite their success, Japan have not put any team to the sword:

However, that also illustrates their strong defensive capabilities, decisive finishing and ability to control games. Japan haven't exerted energy tearing teams apart because they haven't needed to. When they go ahead, they tend to stay ahead. 

Mana Iwabuchi scored Japan's late winner against Australia (see below), and manager Norio Sasaki has identified her as a threat. He could use her to devastating effect from the bench in the semi-final.

Per Louise Taylor of the Guardian, he said: "She is a killer player. She has very good ability to create opportunities in front of goal. When she was preparing to come on against the tired Australian players I told her she was going to decide it."

After two historic wins over Norway and Canada, though, the latter in front of more than 54,000 fans, the Lionesses should fear no one.

Two early goals from Jodie Taylor and Lucy Bronze put England ahead against Canada. While Christine Sinclair's reply ensured a tense second half with more than a few clearances from England's back line going straight back to the hosts for another push, Mark Sampson's side held on for a memorable win.

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty was impressed with the way England handled the game:

Thanks to the likes of Taylor and Karen Carney up front, along with goalscoring defenders Bronze and Steph Houghton, England are capable of scoring against Japan's strong defence.

However, the Three Lionesses have not kept a single clean sheet at the tournament, and Japan's clinical finishing can punish the defensive and goalkeeping errors England make.

Along with their experience and superior technical ability, this game looks set to be one match too far for England.

The Three Lionesses are a resilient side and can test Japan, but a USA-Japan rematch seems the most likely scenario in the final.
