The live stream of Team USA vs Australia is the end of the line for the Megan Rapinoe-led team Yes, the match against Canada was supposed to be just a step toward the gold medal, but it wasn't meant to be And it ended in heartbreaking fashion

Team USA lost 1-0 to Canada in the semifinals and looked to have played a good match overall However, as is often the case in sports, one momentary lapse proved fatal: in the 72nd minute, the US's Tierna Davidson was caught out by Canada's Diane Rose

After one VAR review, referee Katerina Monzur set up a penalty kick The ball was released by Canada's Jesse Fleming and flew to the right side of the net, but did not reach goalkeeper Adriana Franchi

Franch was in the match after Team USA lost Alyssa Neher to a knee injury in the 30th minute; in the 22nd minute she leaped to defend the service, then landed awkwardly and remained down for several minutes She stayed in the match for another eight minutes, but had to be replaced by Adriana Franch (for the seventh time in USWNT history)

The fiercely contested bronze medal battle will begin today at 4:00 am ET We're ready Here's everything you need to watch the live stream of Team USA vs Australia:

The Olympics are a global event and can be seen in almost every country on the planet However, if you are not in your home country and cannot watch the Team USA vs Team Australia live stream on your usual service, or if you prefer to watch in your native language, you are not out of luck

A virtual private network, or VPN, allows you to access the same streaming services you've already paid for by pretending you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by power outages) VPNs are completely completely legal, inexpensive, and easy to use

I'm not sure which VPN is right for me After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN It offers great speed and excellent customer service However, there are other VPN options out there

The VPN is incredibly easy to use

2 select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app For example, if you are in the US and want to see UK services, select UK from the list
