USA vs Brazil 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. Of course, fans of both the U.S. women and Brazil won't be particularly happy with how the group stages played out, giving the two pre-tournament implied semifinalists an extremely difficult quarterfinal matchup, but at least they should be treated to some exciting football. Brazil and the United States will square off in the marquee quarterfinal match of the 2011 Women's World Cup on July 10. Brazil qualified for the quarterfinals by winning all three games in Group D. The Samba Queens scored seven goals in those matches (tied with Germany and France for the most in the tournament) and conceded none. The United States only needed a draw against Sweden in Group C to win the group and instead lost 2-1 in a lazy performance. Unfortunately, that meant playing a red-hot Brazil squad.
The United States last faced Brazil in a knockout round in the 2007 World Cup. Starting goalkeeper Hope Solo was benched in net in favor of veteran Briana Scurry, who had not played in months. The result was an embarrassing 4-0 rout. The United States got the better of Brazil in the 2008 Olympics, defeating it 1-0 in the "Gold Medal Match" in extra time. Solo was crucial to that victory and has been playing very well in this World Cup.
Brazil has gotten two goals apiece in this tournament from Cristiane, Marta and Rosana. Erika also scored a wonderful goal against Equatorial Guinea last match. The USA can't be too keen on just trying to stop Marta or they risk getting scored on by one of its other capable goal scorers. The United States has had six different goals-scorers score its six goals in the tournament. Most important, in the last match against Sweden, Abby Wambach finally ended her scoring drought.
Brazil has played the best soccer of any team in the tournament so far. However, it has looked this good before and have never been able to win the World Cup. The United States has never finished worse than third place.
I think the Americans will bounce back from the loss against Sweden and play much better against Brazil. Finishing scoring opportunities will be crucial. Nobody has been able to deny the USA from getting enough shots to win. If the USA can hold Brazil scoreless in the first half, it will have a good chance to pull out the victory.
As long as they throw out the defensive game plan from the Sweden match, I think the Americans will win a close game and avoid their earliest ever World Cup exit. Watch Brazil vs USA Live Stream Women's World Cup 2011 Online Free
