Neither the United States or France have it us with any surprises with their lineups for their 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup semifinal matchup, with the USA going with their regular 4-4-2 shape and Les Bleues sticking with their 4-2-3-1. Louisa Necib will sit in the hole behind Marie-Laure Delie for France, and we should see some great battles between Necib and Shannon Boxx all game long. Central defender Rachel Buehler is suspended for the United States, so Becky Sauerbrunn, the holder of the longest consecutive games played streak in WPS, steps into the lineup in her place.
