The final insult: Women's World Cup final will be forced to compete with Copa America, CONCACAF on Sunday

Megan Rapinoe considers Sunday to be the final insult.

Just a few hours after the United States and the Netherlands meet in the Women's World Cup final in France, Brazil or Peru will celebrate winning the Copa America, South America's men's championship. And then at night, the United States or Mexico will win the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the men's title of North and Central America and the Caribbean.

A TV triple of championships for some is yet another slight for others.

"It's ridiculous, and disappointing, to be honest," said Rapinoe, the star American midfielder.

FIFA said playing the three finals on the same day would boost attention for all

"The scheduling of the different events has gone through a comprehensive consultancy process, which has involved all key stakeholders and taken into account different aspects of the women's and men's international match calendars," the governing body said in a statement.
