LYON, France _ United States forward Megan Rapinoe said she is still on track to be ready for Sunday's World Cup final against Netherlands. Rapinoe sat out of the semifinal Tuesday with a slight hamstring strain. She said after the game she would be fine for the final, and she reiterated that the following day.
"I do expect to be healthy for the final, feeling really good. I had a good session today and feeling better every day," Rapinoe said Wednesday. "It was really nothing too serious, but obviously with such a short time between games, just wasn't able to go. I felt like for myself and for the team, it was the best o not even try.
"It's was just minor to begin with, so every day it feels better and better, just increasing the load and I'll be ready for the final."
