VICTORIA, B.C. (Aug. 22, 2002) - The U.S. Under-19 Women's National
Team will play Denmark in its quarterfinal match at the 2002 FIFA Under-19
Women's World Championship at Centennial Stadium in Victoria on Sunday, Aug.
25, with the kickoff set for 7 p.m. PT. Fans can follow the action live on
www.ussoccer.com's MatchTracker presented by Philips Electronics.
The U.S. team learned of its second round opponent tonight after the
completion of the final first round matches in Group A as Denmark, which only
needed a tie to finish second in its group, fell to Japan 2-1 and into third
place in the group. Canada finished its Group A sweep with a 2-0 win over
Nigeria, knocking the Baby Falcons out of the tournament. Japan's mild upset
also knocked Group B third-place finisher France out of the tournament and
earned Japan a quarterfinal meeting with European champion Germany.
Denmark, which is led by forward Johanna Rasmussen, who has three of her
team's five goals, opened the tournament with a 3-2 loss to Canada, a game in
which the Danes held a 2-1 lead. Denmark then defeated Nigeria, 2-1, before
falling to Japan to complete group play.
"Like their senior team, and like almost all European teams, Denmark will
be disciplined, well-coached and very organized," said U.S. head coach Tracey
Leone. "It was good for us to have the experience of playing against
England, another European team, to give us an idea of what we might be
facing. We are certainly very respectful of Denmark's talent, toughness and
pride."
Should the U.S. team defeat Denmark in their quarterfinal contest they
would play the winner of the Japan-Germany game in the semifinals in Edmonton
on August 29. The Brazil-Australia winner will play the Canada-England
winner in the other semifinal. Following are the quarterfinal match-ups and
final group standings.
