1999 FIFA Women's World Cup knockout stage

The knockout stage of the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup was the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. It began on 30 June with the quarter-finals and ended on 10 July 1999 with the final match, held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. A total of eight teams (the top two teams from each group) advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination style tournament.[1]

All times listed are local time.

Format

In all knockout matches apart from the third-place play-off, if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each). If still tied after extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner. If the third-place play-off was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, no extra time would be played, and the match would immediately be decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Qualified teams

The top two placed teams from each of the four groups qualified for the knockout stage.

gollark: Nope. The mage who erased knowledge of magical lacemaking restricts the supply.
gollark: Yes, like cereal bars. Not that you're capable of understanding that now.
gollark: I'm sure you'd like to think so.
gollark: *And* to erase the idea of ever doing the same thing from almost everyone else.
