How to watch USA vs Australia World Cup, free online streaming internet roster USWNT tv time

The United States kick off their 2015 World Cup with a match against Australia today. Thousands of fans are expected to have made the short trip to Canada to cheer on the squad. Led by manager Jillian Ellis, Sydney Leroux, Abby Wambach, Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, and Ali Krieger, they hope to win their first World Cup since triumphing in 1999. Although Morgan and Rapinoe are currently injured, the squad is very deep (especially at forward) and includes skilled back ups such as Christen Press and Amy Rodriguez.

The team has not been without controversy, as mercurial goalkeeper Hope Solo is back in the news. A report was recently released detailing her domestic violence arrest last summer and US Soccer's lack of interest in punishing or even investigating their player. However, Ellis commented, "That was a long time ago. We've moved on."

The USWNT will also play Sweden on June 12th and Nigeria on June 16th during the group stage.

Australia, managed by Alen Stajcic, is led by strikers Lisa De Vanna and Michelle Heyman. They are 0-22-2 all-time against the United States and have been outscored 83-20. The two countries last played in 2013, with the United States winning, 4-0. This is Australia's sixth appearance at the Women's World Cup. They reached the quarterfinals in 2007 and 2011.

SCORE PREDICTION: 4-2 United States win
