England's defender Lucy Bronze has spoken about her team's chances against Japan in the semi-final of the Women's World Cup on Thursday.
Bronze, 23, scored the winner in the quarter-finals against Canada.
"Japan are the favourites, we know that, but we're confident," Bronze told BBC Sport. "They're the reigning world champions and that's a big deal.
"But for us to play one of the great teams at a World Cup is exciting. We've come across Norway, a hard European team, a couple of South American teams and now the home nation. Japan will be a different challenge again, but we're looking forward to it.
"We know how we can beat them. England are going all the way!"
England beat Japan in the group stages of the 2011 World Cup before the Japanese went on to lift the trophy.
