AUCKLAND, New Zealand — Sweden once again finds itself playing for third place at the Women's World Cup. The Swedes were the third-place finishers four years ago in France and at the first World Cup in 1991. Sweden lost to Spain 2-1 in the semifinals and will again play for third against the loser of Wednesday's match between England and host Australia in Sydney. Sweden defender Magdalena Eriksson says "we have another game to play. We're going to do everything we can to win it." The third-place match is set for Saturday in Melbourne.
