Less than two weeks removed from the 2012 London Olympics, Women's Soccer heads to Japan for the 2012 World Cup showdown. On Wednesday morning, 2 a.m. ET, Brazil will face a Nigerian team that is currently sitting on first place.
The Brazilian soccer team tied their first match of the tournament after a dramatic match against the Italians. Brazil got its lone goal in additional time of the second half. That is correct! Right as time was running out, they managed to tie the game.
Amanda, no. 14 took initiative working the right side of the field. She got passed her first defender, brought the ball down with her chest and caught it in midair, floating the ball over Italy's goal keeper Laura Giuliani.
Brazil will face a Nigerian team that defeated Korea on Sunday 2-0.
They sit atop of the Group B standings with the lone win in the division. Ngozi Okobi and Desire Oparanozie scored both goals in the match to give the Nigerians the definite victory.
With a win, Nigeria ensures its entry into the quarterfinals which will take place in two weeks. Brazil must get a victory in order to control its own destiny.
