The USWNT heads to Wolfsburg to play Sweden to decide which team will top the Group C table. Both teams are already guaranteed passage into the knockout stages, but topping the group will probably mean avoiding Brazil in the quarterfinal, which looks an attractive option after Marta's performance against Norway at the weekend. She's the only player in the world so good that no one, not even the referee, cared that she'd blatantly knocked a Norwegian defender to the floor before scoring her first; you don't want to play that kind of showbiz just yet.
Only a smattering of the most expensive seats remain unsold, which means there will be another horn-tooting queue of Volkswagens edging through Wolfsburg toward the stadium after work on Wednesday when the U.S. meets Sweden (Wednesday, 2:45 p.m. ET). The game will decide who tops Group C and in all probability (any permutation that begins "Equatorial Guinea must beat Brazil" looks doubtful) that means putting off any meeting with the Brazilians, who dazzled Wolfsburg at the weekend, until the final weekend of the tournament.
