USA faces North Korea in rematch of '08 final
- by Soccer America , Sep 27, 2012
[UNDER-17 WOMEN'S WORLD: Day 3] The USA concludes group play at the Under-17 Women's World Cup on Saturday against North Korea, a rematch of the 2008 U-17 final
won by the Koreans. Here are the USA's advancement scenarios ...
-- The USA will advance to the quarterfinals with a win.
-- A USA-North Korea tie would mean the margin of
victory in the assumed French win over Gambia on Saturday would decide who joins the Koreans in the quarterfinals. North Korea (12-1 goal difference) and the USA (6-0) begin the day with four points
while France (1-1) has two.
-- In case of a loss, the USA would be eliminated unless France didn't beat Gambia's Girl Scorpions, who have lost their first two games by a margin of
17-0.
