French President Emmanuel Macron hopes women's soccer players are eventually paid the same as men.
The United States and the Netherlands were deadlock 0-0 at halftime in the Women's World Cup final, mainly because of Dutch goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal. She has made three key stops.Van Veenendaal imposed herself again in the 38th, keeping out Alex Morgan's low shot from Megan Rapinoe's left-wing cross. She denied Morgan again, this time with an even better save, low to her left to tip Morgan's fizzing driver away for a corner.
Speaking on France Info radio before the Women's World Cup final in Lyon, Macron said"we need to go progressively toward that." Macron said"we have the World Cup effect" and added"things will never be the same" for women's soccer in France.On a sunny day at Stade de Lyon, the Dutch fans are making the stadium even brighter with their orange jerseys.
There were concerns that midfielder Rose Lavelle would also be sidelined with a hamstring injury, but she started. The left winger struggled during the semifinal win against Sweden, going off at halftime. She has been carrying the injury since scoring a 90th-minute penalty in the 2-1 last-16 win against Japan, when a teammate stood on her foot during the celebrations. In the only change to the Dutch team which beat Sweden 1-0 in the semis, Anouk Dekker replaces Merel van Dongen on defense.
