Skipper Steph Houghton stepped up as Nikita Parris had missed England's last two penalties. She aimed it low towards the bottom corner, but the U.S. goalie Alyssa Naeher went the right way and caught the ball.

"Obviously I'm devastated not to get to the final," White told a post-match mixed zone while taking a moment to wipe away the tears. "But all I feel is pride, proud of my teammates."

"The USA had an amazing match, we couldn't quite match them. I'm disappointed about the one that was offside. But I wish the USA the best of luck in the final," she said.

In the first half, White's goal canceled the U.S.'s early lead through Christen Press, but birthday girl Morgan's header at half-hour mark again put the defending champions ahead.

The three-time title holders opened the scoring just 10 minutes into the semifinal after a brilliant through ball from Tobin Heath picked out Kelley O'Hara down the right wing and the latter put a deep cross into the box.

Press, who started in the place of the Americans' co-captain Megan Rapinoe, rose at the back post to fire her header into the back of England's net.

With Press' goal, the U.S. have scored in the first 12 minutes of every game they've played so far in this World Cup.

England, however, equalized through their first real attack just nine minutes later when Beth Mead crossed it into the box ahead of all the defenders and White just had to tap the ball past Alyssa Naeher and over the line.
