US, Sweden to meet again in World Cup

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — Three powerhouse teams play on the second day of the Women's World Cup knockout stage and at least one of the best will be eliminated.

The United States is the two-time reigning tournament champions and ranked No. 1 in the world. But their lackluster play in the group stage stopped the Americans from winning their group, which knocked them down to second and a Sunday match against Sweden in the round of 16.
