Group B - Recaps

Nigeria v USA
The US did what it needed to do and won but somehow they remain unconvincing in their performances. Not sure what it means. They did win their group and they didn't lose a match. Still one has to wonder how they will fare if Abby Wambach is unable to play. Instead of answering questions, the USA raises more questions with each match played. Give full credit to Nigeria for a hard fought match which wasn't decided until the final kick.
USA 1 Nigeria 0

North Korea v Sweden
Sweden showed up a little too late. Had they performed like this against the US or Nigeria, Sweden might be in the quarterfinals. Instead, they go home and wonder what went wrong. Meanwhile, North Korea can gear up to play Germany in one could be the most fascinating match of the quarterfinals.
