Probably the biggest and most entertaining TOP16 game in the Women's World Cup will happen on Sunday between Sweden and USA. In a game where are meeting the 3rd and 1st teams in the FIFA rankings, I'm backing up Sweden and saying that they won't lose during the regular time.

Sweden had a perfect group stage. They came back in the 1st match against South Africa and won thanks to a late goal in the 90th minute. It was followed by a 5:0 win over Italy and they ended group stage with a 2:0 victory over Argentina. After a third-place finish at the 2019 World Cup and a silver medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Sweden is adamant that they are ready to go even further in Australia and New Zealand. What Sweden has done better than any other team at the World Cup is score from set pieces. With six goals from corners, the Scandinavians post a serious aerial threat. Defender Ilestedt even leads the team in goals with three.

The best team in the world USA struggled a lot during the group stage. While they started the tournament with a 3:0 win over Vietnam, the team came back and drew against the Netherlands and couldn't even beat Portugal in the last game, meaning they finished the group only in the 2nd position. America's struggles can be boiled down to uninspiring tactics and poor finishing in front of goal. It hasn't been pretty and it hasn't been refined. Captain Alex Morgan told the media that the USA players were "out of sync" with each other. Right now, the team has the worst goals-xG differential (-3.8) of any nation at the World Cup. Attacking midfielder Rose Lavelle won't be available due to suspension after she picked up her second yellow card.

This is a great chance for Sweden to make history and eliminate the USA. Either way, I'm confident that this could be a low-scoring affair and the Swedes won't lose during 90 minutes. Sweden is the toughest USA's opponent in this tournament and the Europeans are ready to win.

也许女足世界杯16强中最盛大、最有趣的一场比赛将于周日在瑞典和美国之间展开。在这场比赛中,我们将遇到国际足联排名第三和第一的球队,我支持瑞典,说他们在常规时间不会输。

瑞典在小组赛阶段表现完美。他们在与南非的第一场比赛中反败为胜,并在90分钟的最后时刻进球获胜。随后以5:0战胜意大利,并以2:0战胜阿根廷结束小组赛。在2019年世界杯上获得第三名,并在2021年东京奥运会上获得银牌后,瑞典坚持认为他们已经准备好在澳大利亚和新西兰走得更远。瑞典在世界杯上比其他球队做得更好的是定位球得分。凭借6个角球,斯堪的纳维亚人构成了巨大的空中威胁。后卫伊尔斯特特甚至以3粒进球领跑全队。

世界上最好的球队美国队在小组赛中挣扎了很多。虽然他们以3:0战胜越南开始比赛,但球队在对阵荷兰的比赛中战平,甚至在最后一场比赛中未能击败葡萄牙队,这意味着他们只以小组第二的身份结束了比赛。美国的挣扎可以归结为乏味的战术和糟糕的射门。它既不漂亮,也不精致。队长亚历克斯·摩根在接受媒体采访时表示,美国队队员之间“不同步”。目前,这支球队在世界杯上的净胜球差(-3.8)是所有球队中最差的。攻击型中场罗斯·拉维尔在领到第二张黄牌后将因停赛而无法出场。

这是瑞典创造历史、淘汰美国的大好机会。无论如何,我相信这将是一场低比分的比赛,瑞典人不会在90分钟内输掉比赛。瑞典队是本届比赛中美国队最难对付的对手,欧洲人已经准备好赢了。
