USA Vs. Japan, Women's World Cup Final 2011: Schedule, Kickoff Time, And More

For the first time since 1999, all eyes in the soccer watching world are on the USA women's soccer team, as they have advanced to the final of the World Cup for the first time since they hosted the tournament 12 years ago. They finished in third place in both the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, but their gutty performances have guided them to the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup final against Japan. The pressure is on, as the United States have never finished a World Cup with a loss, finishing in first or third place in every Women's World Cup. Here's the schedule, time, and venue information for the game.
