The final Tournament of Nations doubleheader kicks off today, and two Seattle Reign FC players will go head-to-head on Thursday evening: Megan Rapinoe with the U.S., and Rumi Utsugi for Japan. The match between the U.S. and Japan kicks off at 7 PM PT and airs on ESPN2.
Before those two sides meet, however, Australia will face off against Brazil. After earning their first-ever win against the United States, the Matildas defeated Japan 4-2 thanks to a Sam Kerr hattrick—something we’re accustomed to seeing in the NWSL this season.
