TIANJIN, China – The U.S. Women’s National Team scored three goals in a 13-minute span early in the second half to defeat England, 3-0, putting on a commanding quarterfinal performance to qualify for the semifinals of the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The USA got goals from Abby Wambach in the 48th minute, Shannon Boxx in the 57th and a capper from team captain Kristine Lilly in the 60th minute to effectively put the match out of reach with a half hour remaining.
The USA, which has advanced to the semifinals in all five Women’s World Cups that have been contested, will now play the winner of Sunday’s Brazil-Australia quarterfinal. The USA’s semifinal will be played at Dragon Stadium in Hangzhou on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 8 p.m. local. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 starting at 7:55 a.m.
