in

semi-final on Tuesday at Bramall Lane stadium. England has lost in three successive semi-finals in major competitions.

Wiegman who is undefeated in 18 matches in charge of England says her players must focus on the present.

"I think it is necessary to be in the now and I do think you always have to learn from your experiences and take out the things you can take out to be better, become better, or to learn,"

said Wiegman in a pre-match news conference.

"But it's no use now to talk about that all the time because it's now. It is now. So why should we talk about that all the time?

"We first have to play a semi-final and that's the only thing that counts. Again, we're in the now. All the focus is on our game against Sweden – that's the only thing we talk about.

"How do we want to play? How do we collaborate as a team? How do we try to exploit their weaknesses, take out their strengths and use our own strengths? That's the only thing we're talking about.

"I think reaching the semi-final has been really great already and we saw that we brought a lot of inspiration.

"But I think our fans gave us a lot of inspiration too. We are only focused on tomorrow and that's what it is, and we hope we get the result we want.

"The England team is ready to play the best game against Sweden, and hopefully we can inspire the nation."
