Megan Rapinoe injury update: Captain will start World Cup final
Megan Rapinoe was unable to play in the US Women’s National Team’s World Cup semifinal win over England, but the co-captain is healthy enough to play in the final.
Rapinoe was back in the starting lineup for USA’s game against The Netherlands on Sunday.

A hamstring injury kept Rapinoe out of the semifinal match, and it actually ended up working out for the US team. Expect the Americans to lean on her experience in the final.
