After some shocking results from the round of 16, only eight teams remain standing in the 2015 Women's World Cup.
We witnessed some unexpected exits from the tournament during the first round of the knockout stage, as Marta's Brazil was ousted by a surging Australian team, and a powerful Norwegian squad was sent packing by what had previously been a very inconsistent England side. Those results paved the way for some intriguing matchups, and two of them will be taking place on Friday.
Germany, the world's top-ranked team, pummeled Sweden in the round of 16 by a score of 4-1.
