Norway midfielder Ingvild Stensland has been in impressive form in Euro 2005, and she hopes to see her side safely past Sweden tonight and into the final, where Germany wait.
"We want to play Germany in the final," she said. "That would be the top final, the best final. We have already proved that we can play against them by getting so close in the first game, so we hope to actually do it in the final."
But she said she expects a "war" with the Swedes first. "In Norway we would probably call this match a war: it will be tough with many tackles made at the beginning before things calm down.
"Both of us will need to take our chances from set pieces and counter-attacks," she added.
"But we are very excited about the match, we can't wait and we're looking forward to it."
Coach Bjarne Berntsen was in similarly confident mood ahead of tonight's semi-final. "We got here by beating some tough competition," he said, "so we are ready.
"Sweden are tough to beat, they are very good defensively, so it's going to be hard.
"We also know that they have two of the world's best strikers and we know to watch that. But we have one of the best goalkeepers in the world," he added with a smile. "So I hope she can help us in this match."
