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.
