Decent showing by what was basically our "B" team today and against an outstanding opposing goalkeeper.
Tomorrow will find the knockout bracket starting to fill in.
8:00 AM matches (Group B) - US cares about this as we would get the runner up, if we beat Sweden Thursday.
China vs Spain
Germany vs. South Africa
Germany should win the group as they sit alone at the top with 6 points and are playing winless South Africa. The winner of China/Spain will be the runner-up (a draw puts Spain into the 2nd spot on goal difference).
2:00 PM matches (Group A) - Minor interest here as we'd likely get the winner of this group in the quarterfinals if we beat Sweden and win our first knockout game.
France vs. Nigeria
Norway vs. South Korea
France is sitting alone on top with a big goal difference advantage. Any of the other three can still finish second; but, So Korea has a big negative goal difference to overcome; even if they beat Norway, I think it would have to be by at least four goals.
