Sweden vs France World Cup Fight For The Bronze Medal
What's at stake
The bronze medal. Sweden finished third in 1991 and runners-up in 2003, so a victory Saturday would allow the Scandinavians to add to their medal haul. France bowed out in the first round in 2003, its only previous World Cup appearance, so a win against the Swedes would represent a major milestone for French women's soccer
The Swedish perspective
"We want to do be able to do our dance again after the final whistle, to celebrate being the third-best team in the world. Like everyone else in the team, I want to win this match," defender Charlotte Rohlin told FIFA.com.
The French perspective
"We managed to keep possession and impose our game on the Americans, so we're very disappointed that we didn't make it to the final. But we're going to fight for third place. There's one match left, and we're going to win it," goalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz told FIFA.com.
