June 29, 20196 yr Miedema is a killer in front of goal so that gives the dutch a small shot, but they haven't created anything in the run of play in the KO stage. If they can defend like hell and counter maybe they can pull the upset, but yeah, the bracket is super unbalanced. 61 goals for country before turning turn 23 is impressive.

She was the second leading scorer in the Eredivisie as a 15 year old and then two years later led the league in scoring with 39 goals as a 17 year old.
June 29, 20196 yr This is the best matchup of kits. Super sweet kits for Sweden and Germany. Just classic. Edited June 29, 20196 yr by Jive Turkey

June 29, 20196 yr The story of this match is defense. Close marking by Sweden is affecting the German attack, and Germany's defense is giving Sweden way too much space.
June 29, 20196 yr 13 minutes ago, pops said: Is there no one at this game? Sounds quiet That's because the crowd is Swedish and German.
June 29, 20196 yr 4 minutes ago, BrickHorn said: If Germany loses, they won’t qualify for the Olympics either, right? Just came here to ask. Loser misses the olympics, yes?
June 29, 20196 yr 8 minutes ago, BrickHorn said: If Germany loses, they won’t qualify for the Olympics either, right? Correct. England, Netherlands and the winner here are in.
June 29, 20196 yr Only on a soccer pitch do people writhe around on the ground in agony and get up and trot away, unharmed, two minutes later. Conclusion: The soccer pitch has magical healing properties. Particularly the 18-yd box.
June 29, 20196 yr Auf wiedersehen, Deutschland.That's a legitimate upset, on paper.That's a legitimate deserved victory, on the field.

June 29, 20196 yr Damn I wasn't paying attention...so Germany lost? Jesus if the US doesn't win this cup it'll be an epic disappointment.
June 29, 20196 yr Author Anything can happen in the final. Let's get past England before we cheer for Germany taking an exit. I do think we beat Sweden more decisively than the 2-0 indicated, but, again, anything can happen in the final. Can someone that has seen the Netherlands play comment on them? Don't think I've caught a game of theirs.
June 29, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, BrickHorn said: An Olympics without Germany and France almost guarantees the US a medal. As long as Sweden doesn't play like cowards in the quarterfinals, yes. Here's a list of tournaments in which Germany eliminated Sweden. Today was so huge for Sweden: Olympics: 2016, 2008, 2004 World Cup: 2015, 2003 Euro: 2013, 2001, 1997, 1995
June 29, 20196 yr Venturing a guess that it will be a USA-Sweden final. But of course, can't overlook the English ladies - I don't think our ladies will look ahead because they're too experienced to make such an error. I would be more wary of Sweden if Pia Sundhage was still managing their squad.
