LYON, France - The Netherlands will bid to begin a new era in women’s soccer in Sunday’s World Cup final when they try to stop the all-conquering United States team from claiming a record fourth crown.
Both sides are managed by women, Sarina Wiegman coaching the Dutch and Jill Ellis leading the U.S. Of the 24 teams competing at the World Cup, only nine were coached by women. “We watched the USA game against England and of course they are a really strong team. I hope we will be able to play our own game,” Groenen said.
The U.S. have their own record going with 11 consecutive World Cup wins. Their last defeat was the 2011 final in Germany when they lost to Japan in a penalty shootout.
