Five of Alex Morgan's goals at this tournament came in the 13-0 thrashing over Thailand in their group opener.

It was the largest victory ever in a Women's World Cup and they could have added more - they had 40 attempts at goal, including 20 on target.

The USA are already fitter than every other team. This doesn't look good for the Dutch going into the final. They will have to have the game of their lives against the United States.

Inside the ground, hundreds of the Netherlands fans have arrived early and they are unmissable, behind the goal away to our right.

I can only assume it is an unwritten law that you HAVE to wear orange when you're at a Netherlands match. They always bring colour, passion and dance moves and today is no different.

The Netherlands reached their first Women's World Cup final after new Manchester United midfielder Jackie Groenen netted in extra-time to settle their cagey semi-final against Sweden.

The 48,452 fans inside the Stade de Lyon had looked set to endure a nervy penalty shootout, before Groenen's crisp low shot sunk the Swedes' hopes of reaching their second final.

As so often in this tournament, the USA fans are set to enjoy a large majority in the stands today. They are everywhere! They travel to these major competitions in immense numbers, and there must be close to 30,000 of them here.

The USA booked their place in the final with a thrilling victory over England in the last four.

They kept their record of scoring within the first 12 minutes when Christen Press and striker Alex Morgan scored with headers either side of Ellen White's instinctive equaliser.

There was more drama to come in the second half as White had a second goal ruled out for offside before Steph Houghton's 84th-minute penalty was saved by Alyssa Naeher.

Centre-back Millie Bright was then sent off for a second bookable offence, as the defending champions marched into the final for the third tournament in a row.

When your dreams come true. Allie Long watched the final in 1999 but this is her first time competing in one.

With the pace the Netherlands have, we could see the USA default to a back-five during the game, and that will be exciting for the neutrals.

The teams arrived a little earlier and there was a nice moment as the teams headed into the changing rooms. Dutch winger Shanice van de Sanden embraced her former Lyon teammate Morgan Brian, the USA midfielder who is now with Chicago Red Stars.

USA make two changes to the team that defeated England in the semi-final. Megan Rapinoe, who is battling Alex Morgan for the golden boot, comes back into the first XI in place of Christen Press. In midfield, Sam Mewis is in for Lindsey Horan.

USA: Naeher, Dunn, Sauerbrunn, Dahlkemper, O'Hara, Mewis, Ertz, Lavelle, Rapinoe, Morgan, Heath.

Netherlands make one change to the side that beat Sweden in the semi-final. Anouk Dekker starts in place of Merel van Dongen and lines up in the centre of defence with Dominique Bloodworth moving to left back.

Lieke Martens takes her place in the side despite being an injury doubt.

There's no doubt the Dutch are the underdogs. Even the commentators here in the Netherlands don't fancy their chances.

Actually the Orange Lionesses are revelling in that status. No-one expected them to get this far. So they have already surpassed expectations. In a sense that takes the pressure off and could have a liberating effect - they have nothing to lose.

This is only their second World Cup appearance. In 2017 they became European champions and here they are, in a World Cup final. It's been a meteoric rise - and they have shown they know how to win in big games.

The Dutch have a fearless frontline and rock-solid defence that even the mighty US strikers might find it hard to penetrate.

Can they pull off what would be one of the biggest Women's World Cup final shocks?

As coach Sarina Wiegman said: "It's one match - anything could happen."

England striker Ellen White had a goal ruled out for handball in the third-place play-off yesterday, meaning she can no longer win the Golden Boot.

Despite being level with Alex Morgan on six goals, the USA striker has three more assists and is therefore leading the race ahead of today's final.

But her biggest competition is teammate Megan Rapinoe, who scored twice in the quarter-final win over France to take her tally to five.

She had to sit out the semi-final through injury so will be raring to make up for lost time here in Lyon.

USA captain Megan Rapinoe has always been a rockstar.

The day before the World Cup final she wasn't talking about her dreams of lifting the trophy. No, she was taking it to Fifa over their scheduling.

The Copa America and Gold Cup finals are also on today and Rapinoe said it was "a terrible idea to put everything on the same day".

"This is the World Cup final. This is like, cancel everything day," said Rapinoe.

"The World Cup final is set so far in advance it is actually unbelievable.

"So no, I don't think that we feel the same level of respect, certainly that Fifa has for the men and just in general."

The kid knows her stuff!

USA forward Megan Rapinoe has recovered from the hamstring injury that kept her out of the semi-final win over England.

She replaces goalscorer Christen Press. Golden Boot leader Alex Morgan also starts.

Full team news to come.

Today's match marks the first time the reigning World Champions will take on the European Champions in the final.

It comes two years after the Netherlands' success on home soil, while the United States are in a record fifth World Cup final.

The USA have won their last five matches against European opposition - including victories against France and England at this World Cup.

They have also scored more goals than anybody else, 13 more than the Netherlands, who are competing in just their second tournament.

The Netherlands are the eighth different team to play in a Women's World Cup final - the only European nations to win the trophy are Germany and Norway.

Can they become the third?
