USA lost on penalties. Sweden go through to the last 16.

 

Here's the rest of the tournament with dates/starting times (Philippines time).
Excuse my predictions, even if I got the first 4 matches of the knock-out stage right, no guarantee for what's still to come.

I like Japan vs Spain with the winner becoming champion.
Note: US women dominated their match then couldn't make a shootout goal. Disappointing.

I'm loving the football. The Sweden/USA game was a cracker as was the England/Nigeria and just now starting the Australia/Denmark game which seems to be a bit of an anticlimax so far, but this has been really great football

 

Missed the 90 minutes game but switched on in time to see the penalty shootout, England scraped through, but felt sorry for Nigeria.
Noted the consoling gestures of England players towards the Nigerian goalkeeper.

 

I didn't see the match but France overwhelmed Morocco 4-0, 15 shots on goal to 1.

 

Spain beats Netherlands 2-1, 18 more shots on goal.

 

Can't see England's Lionesses beating Columbia tomorrow but you never know.

 

Yeah they did, and to be fair, over the entire match Spain was the stronger team, however, the outcome was still a toss-up.
Just one minute before Spain scored their 2nd goal, a Dutch attack should have resulted in a goal but our forward managed to shoot the ball high over the goal from 3 meters away; not to mention the clear penalty kick we were denied.
