The Americans have been struggling, having only secured one win in the group stage, barely making it to the round of 16. In contrast, Sweden has been performing well, winning all their group matches and outscoring opponents 9-1. The U.S. team this year is different from the dominant one that won the 2015 and 2019 titles, with coach Vlatko Andonovski integrating 14 newcomers into the squad. The team’s goal-scoring has been less impressive, with only four goals so far in the tournament. The history between the two teams is notable, with frequent encounters in both World Cup and Olympic matches. Although the U.S. has won four out of six World Cup matches against Sweden, the Swedes have had the upper hand in recent Olympic clashes. In the 2016 Rio Olympics, Sweden eliminated the U.S. in the quarterfinals, causing some controversy with Hope Solo’s comments about their defensive approach. The Americans will be without midfielder Rose Lavelle for the match due to yellow card accumulation, which will be a blow to their performance. Despite the challenges, the U.S. team remains optimistic and embraces the pressure and expectations, aiming to raise their standards and prepare for the tough battle ahead. The match between the United States and Sweden is expected to be intense, and both teams are fully aware of the significance of advancing to the next stage.
