What They're Saying
Germany head coach Silvia Neid (via FIFA): "I think we were clearly the better team. We played extremely well against [Sweden's] set pieces. You can't (defend) everything against a team that is that skilled at set pieces, but I thought we were good on our set pieces as well. We played well, but we are not yet world champions, and we now have to focus on likely France."
France head coach Philippe Bergeroo (via FIFA): "We'd put in a lot of tactical work, and we put our opponents under great pressure. We came up short against Colombia, but the great strength of this team is its resolve. This result [against South Korea], on the back of the Mexico victory, is a real confidence boost."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Celia Sasic finished with a brace and an assist in Germany's undressing of Sweden in the Round of 16. The 26-year-old leads all goalscorers this tournament with five goals. She'll look for more of the same in Montreal on Friday.
Germany's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Angerer; Kemme, Bartusiak, Krahn, Maier; Leupolz, Gossling; Popp, Mittag, Laudehr; Sasic
France's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Bouhaddi; Boulleau, Renard, Georges, Houra; Necib, Abily, Henry, Thomis; Sommer, Delie
