Are the Dutch the team of destiny after so many narrow victories en route to the final of the Women's World Cup? More from kbaxter11:
Netherlands midfielder Jackie Groenen, middle, is congratulated by teammates after scoring a goal against Sweden during the World Cup semifinals.
“A final in a tournament, anything can happen of course,” defender Dominique Bloodworth said. “America is a very tough team so we’re just going to see where their weaknesses are, where their strengths are, where we need to be careful and where we need to exploit their weaknesses. Hopefully, we can hurt them and do something great.
“If I don’t feel 100%, then I want another girl to come in and give 100%, that’s easy,” she said of her status for Sunday. “Is it an advantage?” she continued of her World Cup experience. “It can be. But, at the same time, it’s how you handle that and how you approach the game and how you approach your preparation and that sort of thing.”If Sunday’s game, which kicks off at 8 a.m. on the West Coast, starts a little too early, you can always sleep in and wait for two men’s finals: the Copa America title game between Peru and Brazil, which starts at 1 p.m., or the Gold Cup final between the U.S.
FIFA, which manages the international soccer calendar, said the scheduling was purposeful and intended to boost attention for all three games.
