From a fan perspective, the Women’s World Cup could have ended with either of the U.S. Women’s National Team’s last two games. The matches against France and England were both master classes in soccer, with several surprises and breathtaking moments. But to win the cup, the USWNT has to conquer one more foe.
The finals of the World Cup will see the U.S. square off against the Netherlands. It’s the Dutch team’s first time in the World Cup finals, but they’re coming in hot. The Netherlands Women have now won their last 10 games in a row. And their free-flowing style of play (heavy on passes and often keeping the ball in the air) could present a challenge to the USWNT.
The Americans are the first country to reach the Women’s World Cup finals three consecutive times, but they enter the game with lots of looming questions, the biggest of which is: Will Megan Rapinoe take the pitch at kickoff for this game? The team co-captain said she expected to be ready for the final after straining a hamstring and missing Monday’s game against England. But, as that game taught fans, nothing is certain until the roster is posted.
