Hope Solo
Former US goalkeeper and World Cup winner on BBC One
The USA are already fitter than every other team. This doesn't look good for the Dutch going into the final [on the back of extra time and the day after the USA played].

Tom Garry

The Oranje sure know how to party! With the vibrant colour these fans will bring, plus the huge number of USA fans who will be here on Sunday, we're in for a really, really lively atmosphere at the final.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on BBC One
USA have got their hands on it [the World Cup] already for me, these teams are miles apart. It should be a walk in the park.
Post update
There's still time to rate the player's performances. What does Sari van Veenendaal deserve? Head over here to rate them out of 10.

Hope Solo
Former US goalkeeper and World Cup winner on BBC One
They will have to have the game of their lives against the United States. We haven't seen the best of them yet. Hopefully it's yet to come.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on BBC One
Should Sweden have had a penalty?
It's a lunge tackle. She doesn't get any of the ball. It should have been a massive appeal from every Sweden player. It's 100% a penalty.
Post update
Plenty of big saves from the Netherlands captain and keeper, Sari van Veenendaal. Here's a few of them!

Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
That is not a bad piece of chat for Jackie Groenen when she goes back in for pre-season, the winning goal in a World Cup semi-final, that is the dream.
What success Sarina Wiegman has had with this team and she has worked her magic. Their form was not great after Euro 2017 but they found a way to get through.
Post update
Alex Scott
Ex-England international on BBC One
We got a goal in the end. We got some entertainment. We need to applaud the Dutch. They've been on a rise, European champions and a World Cup final. It's major for them
Post update
So the Netherlands will be playing in their first World Cup final. It's their second successive major tournament final.
Remember, they are the reigning European champions. They are taking on the defending world champions!

Pat Nevin
Former Chelsea and Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live
Are they even close to taking on the USA? Is even one Dutch player good enough to get into the USA team?
Post update
Caroline Chapman
BBC Sport in Lyon
As the Netherlands players jump on keeper Sari van Veenendaal at one end, her opposition number Hedvig Lindhal stomps her feet in anger, throws off her gloves and kicks them into the turf.
Post update
And this is the goal from Jackie Groenen that sent them through.

The Netherlands are into the World Cup final!!!!!

Under the new rules it will be an uncontested drop ball.
Post update
Netherlands 1-0 Sweden
Kosovare Asllani is carried off the pitch and straight down the tunnel. There's concern on the face of coach Peter Gerhardsson.
