Australia faces England in the FIFA Women’s World Cup semifinals on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 (8/16/23) at Accor Stadium in Sydney, Australia.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Once again, Sweden finds itself in a very familiar spot — playing for third place at the Women’s World Cup.
The loss was disappointing for third-ranked Sweden after knocking off the United States in the round of 16. But the Swedes must now rally for the consolation game on Saturday in Brisbane. It’s been much the same at the Olympics. Sweden won silver medals at the Tokyo Games two years ago, and at the 2016 Olympics in Brazil. But the team has never won gold.
From there it was bedlam. Sweden answered with Rebecka Blomqvist’s goal in the 88th but a minute later Olga Carmona scored the game-winner for Spain. “I know those setbacks will fuel me to become even better,” Musovic said. “We still have a medal to play for. It’s hard to think about that medal today because I’m so freaking disappointed. But tomorrow is a new day, a new opportunity, and I will do everything I can to be able to help the team take the bronze medal.”
