Norway and France to meet for second place

Norway and France will today come together at Helsinki Football Stadium to play for second place in group B in Women´s Euro 2009 in Finland. Germany have already secured first place in the group.

France are second before the game with a better goal difference than Norway. A draw would take both teams through. That would mean Norway advances as one of the two best third placed teams.

The runner-up in the group will meet Netherlands in the quarter finals, while the best third placed team from this group or group A will meet the winner of group C. So probably both teams are after the second place to get maybe an "easier" opponent in the quarter finals.

At the same time Germany and Iceland meet in Lahti in a game without importance for the group standings.

It´s been a rainy night in Helsinki, but now the sun is shining although it is a bit windy. About 18 degreed.
