Americans will have the happier dressing room at halftime
The scoreboard belies what's been a near-dominant first 45 minutes of play by the United States.
The Americans are outshooting Sweden, 5-2, and have the match's only two efforts on target, both by Trinity Rodman. Lindsey Horan’s header also found the crossbar in the 34th minute.
Possession has been favor of the United States, 52% to 34%.
Entering Sunday's play, Sweden had outscored its opponents, 9-1, in three matches, but so far they haven't really threatened.
Referee blows for halftime
After two minutes of injury time, French referee Stephanie Frappart blows the whistle and its 0-0 at halftime.
Denied by the crossbar
A beautiful corner met perfectly by Lindsey Horan but her header crashes off the crossbar with the whole Team USA bench on their feet. So close!
Smith and Angeldal battle it out
Another great strike from Rodman
Trinity Rodman again. The forward breaks into the right side of Sweden's box and fires a great shot. But Zecira Musovic makes a super save to deny her.
U.S. asking early questions
The goal-starved Americas have asked most of the questions through the first 20 minutes of play.
Trinity Rodham fired the match's only attempt on goal and the U.S. had the early edge in possession.
Stinging shot from Rodman
Trinity Rodman drives at the Swedish defence before hitting a powerful shot. But it's straight at Swedish goalkeeper Zecira Musovic who punches it away.
Smith and Morgan link up nicely
Sophia Smith and Alex Morgan are linking up nicely down the right for Team USA but Sweden have defended well so far.
Three U.S players need need to avoid yellow cards
Naomi Girma, Lindsey Horan and Sophia Smith of Team USA and Olivia Schough of Sweden need to be careful.
All of them have been booked with yellow cards in previous games and if they get one today they will miss the quarterfinal match against Japan if their team makes it today.
Teams keep things tight early on
As both teams find their feet there is some scrappy play in midfield. U.S. Co-Captain Alex Morgan burst into the box but couldn't get a shot away. Andi Sullivan also goy a shot in but it went wide.
