The clash between the reigning world champion and the reigning European champion will take place at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu within the Lyon Metropolis on Sunday, July 7 at 5 pm CEST (11 a.m. EDT).

It's the very first time that the Dutchwomen have reached the final. The U.S. women, by contrast, will be playing in a final for a fifth time - out of eight Women's World Cups! (And even the three times they didn't reach the final, they won the bronze medal!)

You have not included the option that the US might possibly lose, LOL ?

I predict the US to win by 2-1, a one goal difference.

I’m not rooting for any team, because I like both.

You think the Netherlands will score a goal? Against the USA? That's a very optimistic forecast...

I've always found it very interesting how the US Men's team is somewhat mediocre (compared to American performances in other sports especially where the US dominates) while the Women's Team is extremely good and an easy world cup contender.

Certainly an interesting contrast.

our male top athletes play other sports.  Our top women do to, just not as extremely.

How popular is women's American football in the US? I know that women's basketball is covered quite often in the news. But I hear/read only very little about female football.

it's a thing, but it's not highly regarded.  I think there are several regional leagues of women playing at the lowest of semi-pro levels and play a legit form of football.  We have had a local team that offers a different experience for the fans.


I think it's gross, but I have a couple of co-workers that go to every home game (like 2 a year).

Okay?? 😁 Nevertheless, them football players are still more demurely and chastely dressed than female beach volleyball players. 😂

I'm not a fan of that either.  I enjoy an athletic female body as much as anybody,  but focusing on it during sport seems wrong.

Parc Olympique Lyonnais is sold out (over 59,000 spectators).
It's 31 °C / 88 °F in Décines-Charpieu.
Emmanuel Macron is present at the stadium.

I've always found it very interesting how the US Men's team is somewhat mediocre (compared to American performances in other sports especially where the US dominates) while the Women's Team is extremely good and an easy world cup contender.

Certainly an interesting contrast.

In the US, we have a gender equality law called Title 9, which wasn't really intended for sports when passed, but because of that every middle school, high school, and college, spends as much on women's sports as men's sports, developing talent and all that. Because (American) football doesn't really have an equivalent, it means that sports like soccer, tennis, volleyball, etc., end up being a lot better funded on the women's side than the men's.

Granted, the World Cup team has had a whole lot more development than just school and college, but the fact that every single school with sports puts money into things like women's soccer means there's basically no chance that a potential talent slips through the cracks.

Combine that with dead0man's point, that top female athletes are way more likely to focus on soccer than top male athletes, and our high population, and I think you have a good explanation for the disparity between the men's and women's national teams.

In a world where soccer could bring in as much money as (American) football, Odell Beckham might be the top soccer player in the US right now. He was dominant at both sports in high school.

Women's team doing us proud. I'd already voted Team USA by 2. Hopefully, we can do even better than that. Smiley
