On to Estadio Algarve

The 18 group matches are over and the placement matches have been set. While the USA will face Sweden in the championship game at Estadio Algarve, there will be some other interesting matches as well. The Germans and the Danes will play for third before the USA takes the pitch in Faro, while China and Iceland will play for fifth. Portugal gets a nice match for them against Finland, host of the 2008 UEFA Women's Championships, while Norway will have to play for ninth against Austria. Wales hammered Poland today, 5-1, but the Poles will get a chance at redemption in the match for 11th. You can follow the USA-Sweden clash on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker.
