Sweden and the United States have met in six of the past eight World Cups, but never previously in the knockout rounds. That changes on Sunday in Melbourne
The United States women have enough talent to win the World Cup. The United States women also don’t look anything like a team playing well enough to win a World Cup. On Sunday, the duality of the Americans’ lackluster World Cup to date shifts to the knockout stage, where they hope to avoid the worst finish in program history.
Of course, it had to be Sweden.
