This is a top rated sports app loved by millions of users so read on for all the info you need.
Yesterday we saw the England vs. Germany third place playoff, and it was England that grabbed the bronze medal spot. Today there’s already huge excitement building for the USA vs Japan match, which is a repeat of the final in 2011. This time the USA women’s soccer team is ramping up to take the Women’s World Cup title from defending holders Japan, after already seeing off Japan in the 2012 Olympic Games final.
The tournament is being held in Canada and the USA vs Japan final takes place in the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver on Sunday 5th of July at 4pm local time. If you’re in the US that equates to 7pm ET or 4pm PT, or in Tokyo it will actually be 8am on Monday morning. For UK football fans it will be midnight on Sunday night/Monday morning.
