World Cup: Miedema, Roord, Van de Donk lose final

We had three of our players taking part in Sunday's Women's World Cup final between Netherlands and United States. Scroll down to find out how they got on:

Vivianne Miedema and Danielle van de Donk played the full 90 minutes, while Jill Roord was a 70th-minute substitute, as Netherlands were defeated by USA in Lyon.

After a goalless first half, Megan Rapinoe made the difference with her sixth goal of the competition. Alex Morgan went down under a high foot in the box and Rapinoe stepped up to hammer home from the spot, and edge out her team-mate for the Golden Boot.
