Sitting alongside Ange and Laura in the studio are USA Women's team manager Emma Hayes and Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Emma has been praised for her tactical explanations as part of her coverage, which has made her an important member of tournament coverage in recent years.

Wright-Phillips, son of other ITV pundit Ian Wright, is a former Manchester City player, who also featured for MLS sides New York Red Bulls and Los Angeles FC.

The three will be providing half-time and full-time analysis on the match, with Canada searching for their first ever World Cup win.

Hayes has also been seen providing brief tactical analysis during the competition's much maligned hydration breaks, where other networks have been known to cut to adverts.
