USA vs Netherlands
Fifa Women's World Cup Final 2019
Venue: Stade de Lyon, France
Date: Sunday, July 7, 2019
Kick-off time: 4pm BST, today
USA will be aiming to both successfully defend their World Cup title and win the competition for a fourth time when they face the Netherlands in Lyon today.
The Dutch had to battle through extra-time against Sweden, eventually progressing 1-0 following a goal from new Manchester United recruit Jackie Groenen.
Midfielder Danielle Van De Donk believes Holland can rise to the challenge, as the European champions look to upset the form book.
She said: "They're basically already congratulating us on finishing in second place. I love it, let them say what they want to say."

Subs: Pugh, Brian, Horan, Lloyd, Krieger, Davidson, Sonnett, Harris, Long, Franch, McDonald, Press

The USA recalled winger Megan Rapinoe after she sat out the semi-final win over England.
Rapinoe, who has scored five goals in helping the US to reach their fifth World Cup final, missed the semis because of a slight hamstring strain.
Meanwhile, Netherlands have been handed a huge boost with Lieke Martens fit to start.
Martens, the 2017 world player of the year, aggravated a toe injury celebrating her late last-16 penalty winner vs Japan and has been in and out of training since.
However, she made the cut to feature in the European champions' first ever World Cup final.
Prediction: USA 2-0 Netherlands
They may be European champions, but very few expected the Dutch to reach this stage. Their progress since 2015, when they first qualified for a World Cup, has been remarkable and they will be major underdogs. The fact their semi went to extra time may also count against The Netherlands.
Holders USA are aiming to become the first side from outside Europe to win successive World Cup titles.
