The US are so aggressive with the way they start the game. Both full-backs getting forward. They look to get the early goal and build from there.

Samantha Mewis has started very brightly. She wins the ball in the box but can't pick out a teammate.

The Dutch look to break down the left through Lieke Martens but the Barcelona winger players an awful ball out to the right, which is a good few metres behind Lineth Beerensteyn.

It’s packed here at National Harbor, where fans have crowded the waterfront area to get a glimpse of the game on the big screen. It’s a real family affair, with young and old in the red, white and blue to watch the final.

I’ve seen one orange hat, but otherwise it’s pretty clear who everyone is here to support. A huge roar went up for the Star Spangled Banner as everyone stood to observe the anthem. It’s another hot day in Maryland and everyone is hoping the USA can raise the temperature even further.

If the Netherlands can ride out these opening 15 minutes, it will be something no other team has done.

Lieke Martens reads the USA throw-in down the right but immediately gives the ball away. Samantha Mewis is then able to run into the box before her cross is blocked.

Not an ideal start to this Women's World Cup final...there were two balls on the pitch for the first 30 seconds!

A gentle reminder that the USA went 4-0 up in the first 16 minutes of the 2015 final... So be prepared!

Form goes out of the window and you are 90 minutes away from winning the World Cup and you leave everything you can on that pitch.

There is no reason why the Netherlands cannot upset the USA.

The 2019 Women's World Cup final is under way!

It's also a big day for French referee Stephanie Frappart, who leads the officiating team in Lyon for this match.

Dutch keeper Sari van Veenendaal turns to look down the line at her team-mates at the end of the Netherlands national anthem.

She encourages them with words and applause before leading them past the USA players to shake hands.

Megan Rapinoe looks so focused. She applauds the end of the national anthem, which as usual, is sang with lots of emotion from the American supporters.

Danielle van de Donk is so intelligent and she is constantly demanding the ball because she is the creator in this Netherlands team.

Out come the teams for the final time at this World Cup. Lyon is absolutely ROCKING!

A mass of photographers are waiting by the tunnel for the players to emerge.

This match will be front and back-page news tomorrow morning around the world.

The Netherlands have been the queens of set-pieces.

And Sherida Spitse is at the heart of it all, picking up four assists in France this summer. The midfielder has played 550 minutes in all six matches.

The Dutch will need her at her best today.

The noise is deafening already inside the stadium and there's still 10 minutes until we get this final under way.

Look out for the fans behind both goals - they're the ring leaders!

The fans are going to have a great time. Since the Netherlands won the Euros their following has swelled.

[On England's tournament] Four years ago, it was making history and there was a lure to finishing third, but this time around there wasn't maybe the same impetus. It is really hard to get up for it after the disappointment of the semi-final.

"This tournament has really put a smile on my face, from the quality of the football to the political stances some of the teams have taken. I feel really proud of where women's football is now."

Netherlands midfielder Danielle van de Donk: "I think the USA think they are going to win. I have heard a few interviews and I just think they are kind of arrogant."
