Daniela poached the first one. The DPRK 'keeper (O. U. Suk ?) almost gifted a third in the 49th minute. DPRK has a good counterattack but no finishing.
94': Brasil 2-1 DPRK And the referee gives about 6 seconds after the kickoff so DPRK has no chance to pull back the second. The cynical flopping and hacking by Brasil is a disgrace. They show great flair with the ball in possession, but should have lost a player or two to cards.
Good game. North Korea didn't really get it going till it was too late but when they are on they are one of the best techincal sides in the world. I'd dare say their offensive technique is ever better than the U.S. BUT the U.S. arguably has more speed and power. Brazil is just very impressive and if they wanted to push it they probably could've scored more. It's going to be very tough for the U.S. to beat Brazil.
If Korea got a little tougher finishing (and magically grew taller), they'd be almost impossible to beat. I've noticed the ease with which they often took the ball from the Brazilians. Their passing can be pretty damn flawless. Very fun and exciting team to watch.
Yeah, N.Korea was the only team to score on Hope Solo in the last Women's World Cup. I think that's right. I remember the U.S. defenders claimed that they had never been so exhausted in their life from chasing them! LOL!
