Thanks a lot for becoming a member of me for this dramatic match! The US had all the possibilities in regular and further time, with Horan a selected menace, however Musovic saved them out to ship it to a shootout. The US’ Smith had the possibility to ship her workforce to the quarters however couldn’t slot the penalty and in the long run Hurtig got here up with the deciding take. The primary time the US attain at the very least the semi-finals. The earliest a defending champion has gone out. It’s Sweden’s day, have a learn of our report:
England play tomorrow, which we can have reside protection for, learn this as prep:
After her heroics it’s Musovic who has been named Participant of the Match:

Simply have a look at the scenes when referee Stephanie Frappart instructed Sweden Hurtig’s penalty was scored:



Musovic made 11 saves within the sport, 11! Right here is one such save, one in every of her better of the night (it’s a clip from ITV and so some could not have entry):

Nicholas has acquired in contact and makes a great level: “You write that it was a controversial finish to the sport however what was controversial about it? Dramatic definitely however not controversial certainly? All due to objective line expertise (there would little doubt been plenty of controversy if there hadn’t been objective line expertise).” I agree, apologies all. Dramatic finish certainly!
The USA’s lack of medical edge to transform their possibilities have price them. They’ve performed 4 matches at this World Cup and the opposition have solely had two pictures heading in the right direction – but they’re heading house. They’ve additionally solely scored 4 objectives in open play regardless of having 27 pictures heading in the right direction.

Liisa with a crucial evaluation of the shootout: “Naeher is USA’s finest shooter. says all of it.” The goalkeeper took a powerful penalty however I feel Sullivan and Mewis have been good takers too.
Have a watch of the controversial finish to this sport:

USA co-captain Lindsey Horan has mentioned: “At the beginning I’m so pleased with the workforce, lots went into this efficiency. We went out and did it, I feel we performed lovely soccer right now. We created possibilities however didn’t rating. Penalties suck, they’re merciless. I’m pleased with each participant who stepped up right now, it’s braveness to take one. Having the ability to come out of group stage the place we didn’t carry out our greatest and popping out right now [and performing well] .”
Let’s have a phrase on Sweden. Their play all through regular time and further time was lacklustre – no actual attacking menace. It was an outstanding efficiency by Musovic to maintain Sweden within the struggle with saves towards Horan and Morgan the highlights. Then within the shooutout Bennison has to have a shout out. The 20-year-old stepped up figuring out she needed to rating to maintain Sweden in it and she or he took her penalty nicely with management. And naturally Hurtig, her penalty wasn’t an incredible one but it surely acquired the job performed!
The missed penalty from Rapinoe is her final contact of a ball in a US shirt. She is retiring on the finish of the Nationwide Girls’s Soccer League season this yr.
Andonovski’s subs have been below the microscope all match and they are going to be once more now with the shootout. Alex Morgan, who would have taken a penalty, was subbed for Megan Rapinoe who ultimately missed a penalty. Kelley O’Hara was introduced on simply to take a pen and she or he missed.
Sweden will play Japan within the quarter-final, they might want to do significantly better in open play as a result of Japan will most undoubtedly convert some possibilities.

US head coach Vlatko Andonovski had acquired loads of criticism and was below strain on this match. Will he get his marching orders? Henry thinks so: “I anticipated the US to exit after being outplayed, however to exit like this hurts much more! Painful. I look ahead to a brand new coach.”
The US have been below a lot strain to carry out on this match. Their group performances have been poor however the match right now noticed the US play rather well however due to Musovic’s wonderful saves and a scarcity of medical edge couldn’t see them punish Sweden.

Again underway! Sweden 0-0 USA
Effectively we’re quarter-hour away from penalties! Will there be a winner? I’m nervous!
Justin has emailed and mentioned: “A annoyed dominance, a Swedish keeper enjoying a blinder, and a match notable for its penalty misses. The omens don’t look good for the USA.” The US are the workforce who look more likely to rating right here although, Sweden will likely be holding on for penalties I feel.
