Where to watch USA soccer vs. Japan, USWNT scenarios: Live stream SheBelieves Cup, odds, pick, prediction
The national team of the American ladies will be confronted with Japan on Wednesday evening for the title of 2025 Shebelieves Cup. Japan enters the last matchday with the United States on points, but leads the tournament table on target difference and sets up a must-win scenario for the USWNT. The old rivals will meet for the 41st time on Wednesday, and the USWNT will lead the all-time series 31-8-1 and will come for the first time since their Olympic quarter-final meeting in 2024.

Trophy scenarios
Both teams enter the last match day each with two wins and six points. Japan leads the tournament table with a better target difference (+7) than the USWNT (+3). Japan keeps the target-different tiebreaker on their way to the last match, so they only need a draw to secure the Shelieves Cup, and for the USWNT it is a scenario for winner-branches-all. Everything less than a victory for the United States means a second place for the first time since 2020.
