USWNT vs Japan: How to Watch, TV Information, Live Stream and More

The United States Women's National Team and the Japanese Women's National Team are in action tonight in a match that features a rematch of the 2015 World Cup final.  This is the first of two matches that the two teams will play against each other in four days.

The Goal for the USWNT:  win on home soil

What to Watch For

1)  International Match (again) in Colorado: The home of the Colorado Rapids is host again to a big International match and Colorado is finding itself growing in stature on the international stage.  The Snow Classico was certainly awesome to be at, but it is also (appears) to have served as a coming out party for soccer in Colorado.  Every year there is a big match at Dick's Sporting Goods Park and I would have to think seeing the USMNT next year in the Hex would not be a big shock.

2)  Olympic Warm-up: As shocking as it seems, this is an Olympic warm-up for the USWNT only as Japan failed to qualify for the tournament in Rio.  I would think that we will see some experimentation in the Starting XI, but the players that start this match will be a good indicator of who will be playing in Rio.
