SHANGHAI, China -- A few final thoughts from the World Cup:
The U.S. is ranked No. 1 in the world, but this tournament isn't March Madness: Top seeds aren't guaranteed an early walkover or two. The Americans' first opponent, No. 5 North Korea, is tough to scout because it plays infrequently, but U.S. coach Greg Ryan has seen enough to know that it will be "the most mobile team we've ever played." The U.S. then faces No. 3 Sweden, which in Hanna Ljungberg and Victoria Svensson has two of the best goal scorers in the tournament. And the Yanks' final opponent, No. 24 Nigeria, is the most athletic outfit in the 16-team field, Ryan says, "in terms of speed and physical power."
