How to Watch USWNT vs. Netherlands in Atlanta

Today is the day you’ve been waiting for. The United States women’s national team plays the Netherlands in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome. Yes, it’s just a friendly match, but it’s a rare opportunity for fans around the Southeast and specifically Atlanta to see the reigning women’s world champions.

Jill Ellis’ team has rebounded nicely from their Olympic disappointment with routine 9-0 win over a helpless Thailand side on Thursday.

There’s been a ton of turmoil surrounding the USWNT ever since their last match at the Olympics when they were knocked out by Sweden. Perennial No. 1 goalkeeper, Hope Solo, had her contract terminated after calling Sweden “cowards” for their defensive style in upsetting the Americans on penalties.

After that seemingly blew over, Megan Rapinoe stole headlines by supporting Colin Kaepernick in his protest of police treatment of black citizens. Her kneeling during the national anthem sparked much debate around the sporting world.

There will surely be some more to talk about when the USWNT play in Atlanta tonight.
