This six point penalty was no problem

WE’VE DONE IT! WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM ADVANCES TO THE QUARTERFINALS! 1-0 win over Colombia in our final group stage match!

 

What fight from the girls after all the adversity they’ve had to face. Well deserved. 
 

Up next Germany!

Ultimately, it just means they're playing Germany instead of Brazil. 

 

They've basically played 3 elimination games in a row, so I wonder how that will affect them moving forward. Maybe it's toughened them up more.

I truly dont know if we would have won all three games had we not received the 6 point penalty but great job at beating it.

Both teams are good, it’ll be tough either way.

Auger-Aliassime plays his mixed doubles semifinal right after his men’s singles quarterfinal 

 

Horrific scheduling.

Surely there has to be minimum rest between the two matches

Probably, but not much.
