The Women’s World Cup is in full swing, and Sweden is one of the teams making waves. After a strong showing in the group stage, the Swedes have advanced to the quarterfinals and will face off against the United States.
Sweden started off their World Cup campaign with a 1-0 win over Chile, followed by a 2-0 victory over Thailand. They then faced off against the United States in their final group stage match, and despite the US having the better of the play, Sweden held on for a scoreless draw. This result was enough to see them through to the knockout rounds as one of the top two teams in Group G.
In the round of 16, Sweden faced off against Canada, and it was a tight match. The Swedes took the lead in the first half, but Canada equalized in the second half. However, Sweden was able to hang on and eventually won the match 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Stina Blackstenius.
Now, Sweden will face off against the United States in the quarterfinals. The US has been one of the strongest teams in the tournament so far, but Sweden has shown that they can compete with anyone. They have a strong defense and a potent attack, and they will be looking to cause an upset against the tournament favorites.
It promises to be an exciting match, and it will be interesting to see how Sweden fares against the US. If they can pull off an upset, they will be one step closer to their first ever Women’s World Cup title.
