Much better result, but still some things to work on for U.S.

The U.S. women's national team found a way to win a tightly contested match with Sweden, in the second round of the Women's World Cup. They are still not playing like a pre-tournament favorite, but should get out of the preliminary round with a win over Nigeria. Hopefully, they will win their group so as not to face Germany in the quarterfinals. Nigeria will be tough, as they showed by earning a draw with Sweden on Tuesday. They were to play North Korea sometime today.
