Kosovare Asslani leads Sweden with two scores at the World Cup. Elin Rubensson, Madelen Janogy, Fridolina Rolfo, Lina Hurtig and Linda Sembrant each have one score for Sweden.

"I think they have a great group of players ... I have tremendous respect for the players on the Swedish side and what they have accomplished," U.S. coach Jill Ellis told reporters Wednesday.

The U.S. played without many of its stars in its second group stage match, including: Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath, Samantha Mewis, Kelley O'Hara, Rose LaVelle and Crystal Dunn.

"I think that our team is in a really good mental place," U.S. striker Cristen Press said. "That has come from a long period of time. Often, when you get into a World Cup, people are looking at you in that moment. But what this team has, we've built over years."

"That's in playing incredibly competitive matches for the last two years and failing, learning, scoring goals and getting back up ... shuffling things, trying different situations out. Now the team feels confident in what we can do."
