AUCKLAND : The United States find themselves in unfamiliar territory as group runners-up at the Women's World Cup and the defending champions will now look to win a third straight title the hard way when they face high-flying Sweden in the last 16.
The U.S. have been far from their best but coach Vlatko Andonovski said the criticism of the team was harsh, adding that the women's soccer landscape has changed in recent years with teams closing the gap to the top. 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.
"You can talk about revenge or underdog mentality. For me, that's not going to make the difference tomorrow. It's the players who play," Gerhardsson said.
