FIFA WOMEN'S WORLD CUP SOCCER 2019
Fox Sports 1, 3:00 p.m. ET
Yesterday, the U.S. women’s team bested England, 2-1 in regulation, to advance to the World Cup finals as defending champions. The opponent in that final will be the victor of today’s game, which is a semifinal Dutch treat: Sweden vs. the Netherlands. Sweden is a familiar opponent, especially to the U.S. women’s squad, at the World Cup, but this is only the second time the Dutch team, the Netherlands, has qualified for World Cup play – so to be this close to a final is, for that team, unprecedented. Expect the fans of both teams to be enthusiastic throughout, but the Fox network, not so much: While yesterday’s home-team game was televised on Fox, today’s semifinal is relegated to Fox Sports 1.
