Strong typhoon Wipha's coming have forced FIFA to make some changes to the original schedules of the last round group matches at the Women's World Cup.
FIFA announced on its official website on Tuesday that after thoroughly and carefully assessing the situation with the Local Organizing Committee and the relevant Chinese authorities, FIFA has decided to amend the FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007 match schedule.
In the new decision, the Group C game between Norway and Ghana originally set in Shanghai on Sept. 19 will move to Hangzhou and kick off at 17:00 on Sept. 20 while the Group D game between Brazil and Denmark will be played at 20:00 on Sept 20 in Hangzhou, one day later than the originally plan.
As other matches remained unchanged on the timetable, hosts China are thrown into a dangerous situation, in which they have to play New Zealand one day before Brazil's game against Denmark, and had to let the latter match decide their fate.
And as Brazil have virtually qualified with six points and a huge advantage in goal difference, a narrow defeat to Denmark would still see them through to the quarter-finals.
