Alex Morgan had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside decision in the first half and that was as good as it got for the U.S. as Australia’s Mary Fowler hit the crossbar with a header.

The USWNT has never finished with fewer than six points at an Olympic or World Cup group stage, but finished with four in this group as Sweden finished top of Group G with nine points from nine.
