The top rivalry in women's football will continue on Sunday, July 5, when the United States and Japan meet in the final of the 2015 Women's World Cup at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, Canada.
The two sides met in the previous World Cup final, where Nadeshiko Japan emerged victorious, and the final of the 2012 Olympics, where it was the Stars and Stripes' turn to shine. It's only fitting that the 2015 World Cup ends with the most high-profile clash in women's football today.
Both sides have shown flaws during the tournament but ultimately deserve to be here, and while the USA will be favourites heading into the match, Japan cannot be underestimated.
