Fans are arriving in Le Havre as historic rivals England and Argentina prepare to face off in the FIFA Women's World Cup.
Meetings between the two nations in the men's game have thrown up a number of memorable - and controversial - moments over the years, but Phil Neville says the enmity that exists in the men's game will not have any bearing on tonight's match.
However, the England coach is expecting a real battle against the South Americans, who surprised many observers when they held Japan to a goalless draw in their opening match.
Neville told a press conference: 'They haven't got the history and the rivalry on the women's side that the men have got.

'It would be silly for me to start talking about Michael Owen's goal, the David Beckham sending-off or the ''Hand of God'' goal because it actually doesn't make reference to the history or rivalry on our side,' said Phil Neville (pictured: Fans before the match in Le Havre)
'It would be silly for me to start talking about Michael Owen's goal (World Cup 1998), the David Beckham sending-off (in the same game) or the ''Hand of God'' goal (by Diego Maradona in World Cup 1986) because it actually doesn't make reference to the history or rivalry on our side.
'This is quite new, a game we haven't played that often. This is a great footballing nation we are playing, a very proud nation.
'We are playing against a team with great history and there are parallels with both, men's and women's football. There are similarities in the way they play.
'They have grown up playing on the streets, fighting for everything. This is what this Argentina team has got.'
Neville is 'under no illusions' as to the test his side face at Le Havre's Stade Oceane.

Neville, who was disappointed with a short spell of his side's opening win against Scotland, said: 'It (Argentina's draw with Japan) didn't really surprise me.
'The games that we've studied Argentina we don't think we've seen them as organised and determined as they were against Japan.
'We're under no illusions as to how tough this game will be. Man-to-man marking, aggressive and we need to show the same quality we did against Scotland to get a result.'
When asked how his attackers will approach the game, Neville added: 'We were planning to play against a team sitting back and defending a bit deeper than Scotland.
