The United States is about to conclude its summer in France with an opportunity to further cement its place as the best team on the international stage.
The U.S. faces the Netherlands on Sunday for the Women's World Cup championship. A victory would give the Americans a second straight title and their fourth overall, more than any other nation
"We've celebrated the amazing moments. We've dug in, looked each other in the eye in the hard moments and gone through things as a team," Rapinoe said."And we get to this final moment and it's one more game and it's really just about experiencing that game in its fullest for the last time." In the Netherlands' 1-0 extra-time victory over Sweden on Wednesday in the semifinals, Martens said it was painful. The United States defeated England on Tuesday night in its semi, giving the Americans an extra day to recuperate.
"It is amazing to be able to play the final. I am so proud. It is amazing to be playing in a team that gives you self-confidence. We give that to each other," Groenen said."We never knew this would be possible. It is one more match and we could be world champions. It will be difficult but it will be incredible to win."The United States had a particularly challenging run to its third straight World Cup final, with a quarterfinal meeting against No.
Alex Morgan leads the team, and the Golden Boot race, with six goals. Rapinoe has five, including four in the knockout round, but she did not play against England because of a minor hamstring issue. She said she expects to be ready for Sunday's match. Ellis said no one has been ruled out.
