The USWNT did not want to be a soccer spectator at the Tokyo Olympics, watching the gold medal game from the sidelines However, an injury to the goalkeeper and one penalty kick forced Team USA out of the main part of the tournament

Canada will play Sweden in Friday's match, while Team USA will play Australia early Thursday morning And you have everything you need to watch the live stream of Team USA vs Australia [If Jesse Fleming hadn't stolen the ball from Canada's Christian Sinclair and shot it himself, the game might not have gone the way it did

Sweden also won, winning 1-0 on a goal by Fridrina Rolfo in the 46th minute With this, Sweden will upgrade the silver medal they won in Rio to a gold medal

Among the services you will want for these games, Peacock will help you watch highlights at night, and Sling TV and Fubo TV will help you catch the games on tape delay

The Olympics are a global event and can be seen in almost every country on earth However, if you are not in your home country and your usual service does not allow you to watch the Tokyo Olympics soccer games, or if you prefer to watch them 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 the blackouts don't happen) VPNs are perfectly legal and 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

1 Install the VPN of your choice As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite

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

3 Sit back and enjoy the action Go to your favorite website or streaming service and tune in

USA and NBCSN are part of the $35/month Sling TV Blue package, and Olympic watchers will want the Blue package, which also has NBC Olympic channels are also available as an add-on for $11/month

Sling is one of the best streaming services, along with other streaming services recommended for watching the Olympics: Fubo TV has over 100 channels (more than Sling), including all of the above networks

BBC iPlayer used to be the primary source for all Olympic coverage for the British public, but things have changed

The BBC no longer has a monopoly on Olympic coverage in the UK, as the IOC has sold its major European broadcasting rights to the Discovery network As a result, the BBC's coverage, while still good, is limited to no more than two live broadcasts at a time

To watch all the competitions live, it is recommended to subscribe to Discovery Plus instead, which provides coverage of all Tokyo 2020 events

Discovery is currently offering a 3-day free trial of this service, after which a full subscription is available for £699 per month or £2999 per year Additionally, the service can be streamed through a number of devices, including Chromecast, Apple TV, Android TV, and apps for iOS and Android
