ā½ Final game: Sunday, August 20th @ … 3 am PST š„“ (LATE-NIGHT GAME!)
WillĀ SpainĀ orĀ EnglandĀ join the US, Norway, Japan, and Germany as Women’s World Cup winners?
While the United States women’s national soccer team’s (USWNT) World Cup run has sadly ended, there’s stillĀ one final matchĀ to take us across the finish line.
Many of us hoped for theĀ fairytale runĀ of co-hosts Australia to continue, but the Matildas couldn’t overcome the ruthless efficiency of the Lionesses even after Sam Kerr’sĀ heroics. (Was all that gibberish? Catch up with this recapĀ over on theĀ Seattle Times.) Nevertheless, thisĀ Women’s World Cup Final is worth the watchāeven if this is the first time since 2007 that the championship game has not featured either the United States or Japan.
England are the favorites to win the tournament but don’t count out the Spanish, who have made it to this cup’s final in only their third Women’s World Cup appearance. No matter the outcome, it’s an exciting time for women’s soccer as we’re about to crown a new world champion.Ā

@theticketsea š» Ballardās premier womenās sports bar Rough & Tumble Pub was packed for Mondayās late-night USWNT World Cup match vs Portugal š£ The game was tightly contested with underdogs Portugal looking like the stronger team for most of the matchāincluding a shot off the post in the 92nd minute which would have set up one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history. With the 0-0 tie the US moves on to the knockout rounds. No more keeping track of points and other score-lines, itās time for win-or-go-home soccer ā½ļø The next match will be a tough test for the USWNT. They face longtime rival Sweden at 2 am PST šµāš« on Sunday, August 6th, (AKA Saturday night). While the US got the better of the Swedes in the last World Cup, times have changed and the BlĆ„gult are the ones with all the momentum.
