have to say, I have been quite distraught since the South Korean ladies were knocked
iout of the tournament. nevertheless, it was a pleasure welcoming our team to our nation
of Canada. as an ottawa resident, my first match that I watched was at lansdowne Stadium,
of course!

What a dramatic way to peak our heads into the Round of 16. The South Korean ladies
are in Knockout Stages for the first time.

This may have be the last game by South Korean Taeguk ladies from the last minute tie-
up by the Costa Rica strike force. With the match ending in 2-2, it was a very close and fun
game to watch. Such intensity shown by the Korean ladies in that game. Since the game
did end in a tie, the only way for Korea to go to the Round of 16 was to win the game against
Spain and for Brazil to either win or tie with Costa Rica.
