Stadium is sunshine and 85 degrees right now. Should get a little cloud cover and drop to ~80 by kickoff but I'm seeing no signs of rain.

Looks like Jill Ellis was doing some pre-match scouting.

Bold move by Ellis

No joke! I guess Ellis is providing more cover for Dunn by starting Press. Additionally, her pace will really stretch the England back line which aren't known for their swiftness.

Pretty nice luxury to have Lloyd and Rapinoe come off the bench to provide an offensive spark if needed.

England starting their backup GK due to a Bardsley injury.

Ellis is getting torn apart for not starting Rapinoe by social and regular media

Well duh, we don't have our best SJW playing so of course Twitter will be up in arms

I guess the people on forum 16 are happy rapinoe isn't starting.

I'm not upset Press is getting the start. I'm not sure if the goal is to wear down Bronze and limit her ability to move up the field or to throw a wrench in Neville's expected game plan against Rapinoe.

Can't believe she did it. Press is obviously an excellent choice as well, but Rapinoe has bagged 4 in 2... gotta leave that level of form/confidence in there, right?

Siriusxm fc was reporting rapino not warming up with the team
Dressed and in sidelines but not participating in drills

Injury? Mind games?

Rapinie has absolutely been the face of this tournament.

Soccer fans know this is a completely valid decision (however bold it may be).

The average fan that tunes in once every 4 years is wondering why our "best" player is on the bench.

Rapinoe not even warming up per Twitter...

Confirmed in person. She absolutely did not jog or kick a ball the entire warmup but was on the field the whole time.

All signs point to an injury.

I've never known us to be this tight-lipped about an injury before. My guard is still up.

Yeah. Her standing on the touchline not even warming up with the team looks like an injury for sure. Weird. If she were that obviously injured there is no reason to not admit it this close to game time.

Rapinoe out is a tactical move

Was she talking to teammates? Being encouraging?

I can't understand Mewis not starting. Wow. And no Rapinoe after I finally conceded that she would always start. Just wow.

Didn't warm up, but available on bench. I'm guessing it's a silent protest.

Fox showed her along the sidelines just watching next to the trainers/coaches. Wearing full warmups.

Press/Lavelle/Dunn on the left side is pretty speedy
