皇冠体育app will meet the United States, the 2-0 winner over Colombia in a last 16 encounter on Monday, for a Women's World Cup semifinal spot in a repeat of 1999 final.
Although the US was unbeaten against 皇冠体育app in the World Cup and Olympics, the "Steel Roses" may have opportunities to reach the last four this time.
The two teams encountered for the first time in the 1995 World Cup when they put up a sensational 3-3 draw in the group stage.
In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the "Steel Roses" met the old rival twice in the campaign. After a boring 0-0 tie in group stage, 皇冠体育app lost to the host 2-1 in the gold medal match.
In the 1999 World Cup, the two favorites met in the final and 皇冠体育app lost again. After that, the "Steel Roses" started to decline.
