Some changes have been made to Pia Sundhage's USWNT lineup for the team's Women's World Cup final against Japan. The centre of defence sees Rachel Buehler returning following suspension for the red card she famously incurred against Brazil, while Megan Rapinoe comes in as the left midfielder in a 4-4-2. That doesn't leave Lauren Cheney on the bench, however - she'll go up top to partner Abby Wambach. Amy Rodriguez and Becky Sauerbrunn are the two to miss out for Buehler and Rapinoe.
Here's the full lineup:
United States (4-4-2): Hope Solo; Amy LePeilbet, Christie Rampone, Rachel Buehler, Ali Krieger; Megan Rapinoe, Shannon Boxx, Carli Lloyd, Heather O'Reilly; Lauren Cheney, Abby Wambach
