The United States vs. Sweden matchup is imminent and both teams are ready for a fierce contest. At the 2016 Olympics, the U.S. won the silver medal. The two teams met in April to draw 1-1. This was the first time that the USWNT had trailed under Andonvoski. Some of the players in Sweden's roster could be trouble for the U.S.: Lina Hurtig (Kosovare Asllani), Fridolina Rolfo (Fridolina Rolfo).
United States vs Sweden
While the United States has yet to beat Sweden, the first-half scoring made it very interesting. Carli Lloyd scored one goal and Christen Press had two, while Anna Anvegard from Sweden scored two. Both were named to the Olympic team. They have combined for eight goals across 19 matches.
Morgan Brian
The United States women’s soccer side has won the World Cup by a 2-1 victory over Sweden. The Americans used a strong attack strategy to win the match, with the focus on the Swedish side of the field. They put pressure in the middlefield and created several great chances, two of which were in the first period. But the Americans have not lost their game. Morgan Brian sustained an injury in the first half when she was challenged by a Swedish defender. Anna-Marie Keighley (Sweden's goalkeeper) was unable to stop it.

Jonathan Lekkerimaki
Jonathan Lekkerimaki, a skilled winger, projects to be a top six forward in the NHL. He is a skilled skater who has a great wrist shot and good vision. Lekkerimaki was a top scorer for Sweden at the World Under-18 Championship last spring. He recently scored against Canada. The game was not televised, but a jumbotron replay of his goal was aired.
Tierna Davidson's World Cup debut
Davidson, who plays professionally for the Chicago Red Stars, made her World Cup debut 16 months after being crowned World Cup champions in 2017. The young defender was an important part of the squad, as she is a member of the US Women's National Team.
Stina Blackstenius
Stina BLACKSTENIS scored twice for Sweden in the first match against the U.S. and put the US on their back foot. While her first goal was an unfortunate accident, she was also a crucial part of the dominant Swedish effort. Sweden is the 2016 Olympics world champions. Sweden had a 2-2 draw with the Americans in Stockholm in April but was able to thrash the Americans in Tokyo with a score of 4-0. Blackstenius's goals over the world champions demonstrated that Sweden can be underestimated, despite being against all odds.
