VENUES showing the upcoming Rugby World Cup Semi Final between England and New Zealand taking place on Saturday October 26 at 9am.

Tournament said to be worth £32.1 million from international visitors, ticket sales and matchday spending.

The defending champions are going back to the Women's World Cup title game. Two early goals from Christen Press and birthday girl Alex Morgan lifted the U.S. past England and into the championship match, where the Americans will face either the Netherlands or Sweden.

Alex Morgan celebrated her go-ahead goal with a cheeky tea-sipping celebration and Alyssa Naeher stopped a late penalty kick to send the United States into the final at the Women's World Cup with a 2-1 victory over England on Tuesday.

A hamstring injury kept Megan Rapinoe on the sidelines of the United States' semifinal win over England. But it didn't stop her from pouring off the bench with the other substitutes to congratulate their teammates.

Megan Rapinoe considers Sunday to be the final insult. The Women's World Cup final will have to compete with two others men's finals, the Copa America and the CONCACAF Gold Cup. "It's ridiculous, and disappointing, to be honest," Rapinoe said.

As the U.S. women's national soccer team played Japan for the World Cup trophy in Vancouver, Rose Lavelle was 140 miles south eating pizza in Seattle. Four years on, Lavelle is in position to help the United States win another championship.

The USWNT is on the verge of winning another Women's World Cup, and they've gotten to the final with a brash confidence that they shouldn't need to apologize for. If you're offended, the operative phrase is: "Wah, wah, wah."

The U.S. and Netherlands entered halftime scoreless, but it wouldn't stay that way for long. Megan Rapinoe struck first on a penalty kick to open the first lead of the game and 24-year-old Rose Lavelle added a second goal to clinch the Americans' second straight World Cup title.

The United States won its record fourth Women's World Cup title and second in a row, beating the Netherlands 2-0 Sunday when Megan Rapinoe converted a penalty kick in the second half and Rose Lavelle added a goal.

By the 8 a.m. kickoff, Rhein Haus in Capitol Hill was brought to standing-room only with an estimated 850-person crowd, the largest the restaurant has ever seen for a soccer game, general manager Jeremy Walcott said.

Megan Rapinoe charmed fans with her waggish personality and utter lack of a rhetorical filter; drew the ire of the President on social media; antagonized officials in FIFA and her own federation, both of whom she has deemed not sufficiently interested in helping the women’s game grow.

Women's soccer engages the U.S. every four years, then disappears for most fans. In the wake of the Americans' record-setting fourth World Cup title Sunday, the hard part remains: the weekly work of boosting the National Women's Soccer League, where average attendance remains at a minor league level.

Co-captain Megan Rapinoe and her teammates shared a float with Mayor Bill de Blasio and U.S. Soccer Federation president Carlos Cordeiro. Rapinoe struck her now-famous victory pose, took a swig of Champagne and handed the bottle to a fan.

“This is my charge to everyone: We have to be better, we have to love more and hate less. Listen more and talk less. It is our responsibility to make this world a better place,” soccer star Megan Rapinoe told the crowd gathered for the parade in New York.

Going forward, the big question is whether the NWSL, and professional women's sports in general, can capitalize on the momentum created by the U.S. women's national team's success. Doing so would require an investment from more than just the athletes. “I think it’s time that everyone else steps up,” Rapinoe said.

Australia will be without one of its star players for the remainder of the T20 World Cup, but the defending champions believe they will not skip a beat as the semi-finals approach.
