Korea DPR suffered a 5-0 defeat against France in their second group G game on Saturday and will be looking to earn their second win of the tournament to increase their chances of progressing to the next stage. 

 

After a physical contest against Colombia, the USA team may choose to rest key players in their final group game.

Bury them, USA!

Not very elegant nor fair-play, Lars. If it's an ideological standing, I'll humbly remark that North-Korean players are not responsible for the totalitarian regime that rules their country. They are victims of it. More than you and me are. And they don't deserve your aggresivity  I don't think that this war vocubalry is the best to use for Ladies' football, the one that we all love, you as me. I confess I'm shocked to see you or anybody here using such expression.

France buried North-Korea by winning 5-0, so USA ought to manage 10-0, ought they not? Or 6-0?

   A big emphatic winning score would be expected from the USA and anything less than 3-0 would seem poor by their standards, unless they do a lot of experimenting.

   In other words, a landslide can be expected.
