Prediction

After passing their biggest tests against England and France in the preceding rounds of the tournament, the Americans aren't going to slip up now. It was a superb run by the Netherlands to reach the final, but the U.S. simply has too much top-end talent not to get the job done, even if Rapinoe isn't fit enough to feature from the opening whistle.

Score: United States 3, Netherlands 1
