WORLD CUP 2015: USA vs. Nigeria -- preview, time, & how to watch

Following Friday's 0-0 draw against Sweden, the Americans will be looking to make a statement in tonight's Group D finale.

Their ticket already punched for the knockout rounds, Jill Ellis's U.S. side can ensure the top spot in the group with a win.

Their Nigerian opponents pack an offensive punch, especially on the counterattack. Becky Sauerbrunn & co. will have their hands full along the back line, while Hope Solo will look to continue her dominant form in goal. Will a finisher emerge to take some of the creative pressure off Megan Rapinoe? It all goes down tonight.
