Convincing win against Brazil 2-0 | | 2007-10-14 07:07:07 | | The German Women's Soccer Team proved that they are still the force to be reckoned with in the world of women's soccer! Goals from Birgit Prinz and and Simone Laudehr dealt the Brazilian the heart breaking loss as they seemed invincible in the run-up matches to this 2007 Women's Soccer World Cup finals. In fact, the Brazilian women had somewhat the upper hand on this match against Germany as they had longer possessions than their opponents and also had more free kicks. Goals however were the things that counted the most as Brazil failed to scored in their lengthy possessions while the German women were precise in their tactics. This competition is a 2008 Beijing Olympics Qualifier tournament.Player of the match Nadine Angerer took the limelight as she saved a penalty kick by Marta. Marta and the rest of Team Brazil were frustrated the whole match.Great Soccer Gear find it below:adidas Men's +F30.7 TRX Firm Ground Soccer Shoeadidas Men's Copa Mundial Soccer Shoeadidas Glider Soccer Ball White/RedManchester United (mens)adidas Predator Beckham ShinguardsClick here for the complete story on Germany's win in this 2007 World Cup!

| The Swedish Women's Soccer team fails to win a quarterfinals seat with the win against N.Korea | | 2007-09-18 16:57:07 | | Needing to win this match against the tough North Korean Soccer Team, the Swedes came up short of 2 goals to gain the quarterfinals seat which should have been against Germany. Instead their rival for the game, by virtue of a more superior score quotient, arranged that quarterfinals match against the Germans for themselves on Saturday. Two goals by Swedish player Charlotta Schelin won the game for the Swedes but the lone goal for North Korea by player Ri Un-Suk gave them enough to move on to the next round which will be a knock-out match against the German women's soccer team.Click here for the complete details of the match between Sweden and North KoreaOlympics Qualifiers Women's Soccer... | | By: Beijing 2008 Olympics Blog | | |

| U.S. & England's Women's Soccer Teams Up for crucial games | | 2007-09-17 22:32:18 | | The English women's soccer team are wary and they know better than to take the Argentina women's soccer team lightly. Today's match between the the English & Argentinian women will be important for Team England at least because of certain conditions for qualifying for the next level of matches for the FIFA Women's world cup 2007 in China. They need to win it by 2 goals today against the Argentinian soccer players to automatically move on to the next round. If they only win it by 1 goal, it takes them to a more difficult situation of being dragged into a waiting game and worse be really dragged deeper into a judging process. The same holds true for Japan. Argentina on the other hand, is on the other end of the deal. They are all but eliminated from the competition with previous losses here in the FIFA Women's world cup.The Americans will also be fighting for outright entry & the top spot of Group B of the competition.
