U.S. WNT Algarve Cup Notes - March 17, 2004

March 17, 2004

ALBUFEIRA, Portugal (March 17, 2004) - The U.S. Women's National Team will face Sweden in its final Group A match at the 2004 Algarve Cup tomorrow (Thursday, March 18) needing a win or a tie to guarantee a spot in its fifth Algarve Cup championship game. The USA has won two of those five matches, taking the title in 2000 and 2003. In a slight clarification from yesterday's match report, the USA can clinch a spot in the final even with a loss to Sweden, but ONLY if France defeats Denmark, which would give three teams six points each and eliminate the first tie-breaker, which unlike years past in the Algarve Cup, is head-to-head play.
