Team news & rosters
| Position | USWNT roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Campbell, Fanch, Naeher |
| Defenders | Dahlkemper, Davidson, Dunn, Krueger, O'Hara, Sauerbrunn, Sonnett |
| Midfielders | Ertz, Horan, Lavelle, Macario, K Mewis, S Mewis |

Having arrived in Japan as overwhelming favourites, the USWNT have struggled to make their mark on the tournament, with just one regular-time win - a 6-1 demolition of New Zealand - to their name.
However, their penalty shootout victory over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals means Vlatko Andonovski's pursuit of an Olympic gold to match their World Cup crown remains alive - and with talents like Tobin Heath and Megan Rapinoe set to start, they will fancy their chances.
Predicted USWNT starting XI: Naeher; O'Hara, Dahlkemper, Sauerbrunn, Dunn; Horan, Ertz, S Mewis; Morgan, Rapinoe, Heath.
| Position | Canada roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Labbe, Sheridan, McLeod |
| Defenders | Chapman, Buchanan, Zadorsky, Riviere, Lawrence, Gilles, Carle |
| Midfielders | Quinn, Grosso, Scott, Fleming, Schmidt |
| Forwards | Rose, Leon, Sinclair, Viens, Prince, Beckie, Huitema |
Like their opponents, Les Rouges have won just the single game at Tokyo 2020 during 90 minutes, a 2-1 victory over Chile in the group stage, and given the pedigree of the USWNT they undoubtedly enter as underdogs, even with their shootout success against Brazil.
Bev Priestman's team have no shortage of matchwinners among their ranks however, not least skipper Christine Sinclair - who at 38 is likely looking at her final chance to snag a gold medal after bronze finishes in London and Rio on her previous Olympic campaigns.
Predicted Canada starting XI: Labbe; Lawrence, Gilles, Buchanan, Chapman; Scott; Fleming, Quinn; Sinclair; Beckie, Prince.
