☆ United States meet Sweden in heavyweight World Cup last-16 clash
  + stars: | 2023-08-05 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The Americans topped their group in 2015 and 2019 but this year they finished behind the Netherlands after two draws. They were also nearly eliminated in stoppage time of their final group game when debutants Portugal hit the post in a goalless draw. For Sweden, the Americans are familiar foes but this marks the first time the two heavyweight sides, ranked number one and three in the world, face each other in the knockouts. The Netherlands, 2019 runners-up, have an easier game on paper against South Africa, who reached the knockout stages for the first time.

☆ Surprise winners, shock losers in 32-team World Cup group stage
  + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Lori Ewing | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The stunning upsets sent twice German champions packing in their first exit from the group stage in nine editions of the World Cup. Revived Norway were a big group stage winner, brushing off a turbulent two weeks to squeeze into the knockout rounds on goal difference over New Zealand. Norway's advancement sealed New Zealand's fate, despite the Football Ferns having edged the Norwegians 1-0 for their first win at a World Cup at the tournament's opening match. South Africa are not used to dominating outside their own continent and the nation erupted in celebration after the Banyana Banyana knocked out Italy, quarter-finalists four years ago, to progress with their first ever World Cup win. China's Steel Roses, once titans of women's soccer with silver medals from the 1996 Olympics and 1999 World Cup, were shock losers in the group stage, bowing out in a 6-1 thumping by England.

☆ World Cup upsets keep US on their toes ahead of Portugal match
  + stars: | 2023-07-31 | by ( Amy Tennery | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
On paper, it would appear that the top-ranked Americans should have every advantage over the Portugal team ranked 20 rungs beneath them at Tuesday's showdown at Eden Park. "Rankings mean nothing in the World Cup," he said. The United States overcame Portugal 1-0 in their last meeting - a 2021 friendly - but Andonovski sees little comparison between the two sides today. Failure to do so would mean missing the knockout stages for the first time in nine World Cup appearances. "Now we see an interesting result every day, every other day, there's something that everybody's shocked (over)."

The United States are gunning for an unprecedented third straight title while the Dutch will want to revive the spirit of their 2017 European Championship win. "This will be an example of modern women's football. It will be a fight from the first minute until the last with teams who want to compete, teams who want to win, teams who respect each other, who both have no fear," Jonker told reporters. "Both want to win the group so this is going to be a really good match." "We all know America has been one of the best teams in the world for a long, long time.
