The favourites’ potential opponents may begin quaking in their boots on SAT 22 SEP 2007.
» Germany 03-00 Korea DPR: Korea DPR had the advantage early but could not finish, and the Germans would punish them. Finely bent strikes by Kerstin GAREFREKES and Renate LINGOR, followed by an Annike KRAHN goal from a corner, served notice to all concerned that Germany are eyeing a second title. Their unlucky semifinal opponents will be the Norway-China PR winner.
» United States 03-00 England: The English side had much of the first half possession but rarely threatened Hope SOLO’s goal. In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Abby WAMBACH, Shannon BOXX, and Kristine LILLY all scored to send the US through to an enticing semifinal against the Brazil-Australia winner.
