— SYDNEY (AP) — Netherlands had just advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women’s World Cup, yet star midfielder Danielle van de Donk looked inconsolable. Her yellow card in the second half of the 2-0 win over South Africa on Sunday means she will serve a one-match suspension. And if you say we can beat everybody, it includes all teams, South Africa, but also Spain,” he said. After finishing above the Americans in Group E this time, they overcame South Africa at Sydney Football Stadium through goals from Jill Roord in the first half and Lineth Beerensteyn in the second. South Africa offered less threat as it struggled to get possession and Netherlands scored its second after Swart's error.
