Group B - What to Expect

Nigeria v USA
The USA team needs to finally put it together in this last match. Playing Nigeria will force the US to spread the field and try to possess the ball more. They must win to avoid Germany in the quarterfinals. Nigeria still has a chance to advance themselves so this will not be an easy match. Goal differences might affect the group's final standings so this match could go down to the second half stoppage time.
USA 3 Nigeria 1

North Korea v Sweden
Sweden is up against it needing a victory and goals to advance. A three goal victory is needed. They'll be pouring forward and attacking more than they did in the first two matches. They'll get their goals but North Korea will also. Look for a wild final 10 minutes.
Sweden 3 North Korea 2
