What They're Saying
Germany head coach Silvia Neid (via FIFA): "We rarely demonstrated superiority. We didn't keep the speed up. At 1-0 we kept worrying but our strategy was implemented better in the second half. We're happy this win means we won the group, but everything starts again in the Round of 16."
Sweden head coach Pia Sundhage (via FIFA): "I'm very disappointed that we only got one point [against Australia]. We started badly and although we bounced back, it was enough. We didn't lose [in the group stage] and we scored four goals, but we didn't do enough to win the group. I said before the matches we have four very good teams and that proved to be the case. We had the hardest group and didn't lose, but at the end of the day it wasn't enough."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Melanie Leupolz opened the affair in Germany's 4-0 victory over Thailand. In 22 appearances with Bayern Munich last season, the 21-year-old finished with four goals. She'll look for more of the same against Sweden on Saturday.
Germany's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Angerer; Cramer, Peter, Krahn, Schmidt; Leupolz, Behringer; Lotzen, Marozsan, Dabritz; Sasic
Sweden's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Lindahl; Samuelsson, Fischer, Ilestedt, Rubensson; Nilsson, Seger, Dahlkvist, Jacobsson; Schelin, Sjogran
