Spain showed signs that it was starting to recover from a bad first half against Sweden. It also displayed a more physical style towards Sweden. The US's inept finishing was evident, but JenniHermoso's flawless shot tied the score in the ninth minute. After the first half, the physicality levelled out with Spain failing convert many penalties and yellow cards. Megan Rapinoe seized the opportunity to flag Spain as a soft foul at the end of the 76th. The US's physical fitness showed in the last 15 minutes.
La Roja's performance against the USA
La Roja was astonished by their performance against the United States. The U.S. WNT was unbeaten in eight competitive matches and had never conceded a goal. They outscored their opponents 44-0. Despite the United States' excellent goal-scoring record the Spaniards seem stronger. They are a dangerous team, and can put pressure on the inexperienced U.S. goalkeeper and back line. La Roja was frustrated with their two last goals, both scored in the second half by Megan Rapinoe.
Their formation against South Africa
Spain started their match against South Africa using a 4-3-3 system. This allowed their wide attackers to occupy the half-spaces while creating space for their fullbacks. South Africa was unable to counterattack because the midfield was very compact. With the exception of some good efforts by Amanda Mthandi (and Kgatlana), the attacking midfielders from Spain were responsible for all the goals.
Their away kit in South Africa
In 2017, the Springboks wore a red jersey in a match against Argentina. They also wore one blue jersey against Ireland in September 2017. This was a replica of their first ever Rugby jersey against the Irish. Asics sponsored the red away jersey. The Springboks were able to wear all the South African colours, as was the Blitzboks. In the Sevens series, they also wore greens and blacks.

It hopes to repeat that feat at Wembley.
Their knockout round match with Germany
The Spaniards look in excellent form after Alexia Putellas's injury. Germany won their last match and has been a strong force throughout the tournament. They are in great form and will aim for a place in the knockout round. Germany, however has lost MarieAntoinette Katzoto to injury and France have struggled to find their feet during this tournament.
