USA vs. Netherlands In World Cup Final

The U.S. Women’s National Team will compete for the biggest prize in women’s soccer when it takes on the Netherlands in the championship game of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday, July 7 at Stade de Lyon in the French capital of women’s soccer. This will be the fifth appearance in a FIFA Women’s World Cup Final for the USA, which is the first and only nation to win it on three occasions: 1991, 1999 and 2015.

It will also mark a record third straight finals appearance for the U.S. after the team defeated Japan in an epic finals rematch in Canada 2015, four years after falling short in a shootout against Japan at the 2011 edition.

The USA earned its way into the 2019 final by blazing through its group in record fashion beating Thailand (13-0), Chile (3-0) and semifinalists Sweden (2-0) before combining tremendous skill, savvy and will to meet increasingly tough challenges from rising power Spain (2-1) in the Round of 16, World Cup host France (2-1) in the Quarterfinal and No. 3 ranked England (2-1) in an epic Semifinal showdown.

Thanks for pointing out that it is more important to Rapinoe to kick a piece of inflated rubber across clipped grass than taking a knee.

I have done so in many Fan Threads now.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino nearly ran out of superlatives to describe the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

“This WWC in France has been phenomenal, has been incredible, has been emotional, has been passionate, has been fantastic, has been great, has been the best women’s World Cup ever,” Infantino said Friday to kick off his closing news conference of the tournament. “Something extraordinary happened here.”

Infantino went on to propose what many players have long advocated for: increased investment in the women’s game.

Infantino’s plan to continue the development of women’s soccer included increasing the number of teams for the next World Cup from 24 to 32 and doubling the World Cup pool of prize money from $30 million to $60 million.

A little free press from this guy never hurt either ;)

I would have loved to be there to see it live, but France doesn’t have an open border policy for Americans.

I’ll get excited when they can beat a boys under 15 team...

Go USA. I hope the US is not over-confident. Another early score by the US will set the tone. Ellis should keep an eye on Rapinoe. Putting herself above the team is a danger.

I’m rooting for the USA, but not for Rapino. And not for those anti-America in the team.

“I would have loved to be there to see it live, but France doesn’t have an open border policy for Americans.”

No you wouldn’t, you’re a bullshitter.

Do US citizens need a visa for France?

As a U.S. citizenship holder, you do not need to apply for a France Schengen Visa! You are allowed to travel to France and to all other members of the Schengen Area for up to 90 days for tourist or business purposes without a visa, as long as your U.S. passport is valid for at least 3 months after your planned return to the United States!

Here we go again. A 15 year old boy’s team could beat the USWNT in basketball, ice hockey, volleyball, swimming, track and field, etc. The difference between men and women is clearly evident in sports. It is why they compete separately.

I enjoy sports at all levels regardless of gender and age. It is about competition and the human spirit to excel and win. The Debbie Downers come on this thread to be the skunks at the garden party. Those of us who are looking forward to the game could care less about what you think or feel. The US is on the cusp of an historic achievement. Go USA.

From what I read, the Netherlands team is aggressive as hell.

I hope they stomp the sh!t out of “our” team.

Rapinoe is now trying to bully others out of a visit to the White House by saying...

I don’t think many, if any, will go.
