Just got in and the US lead 1-0 with thirty minutes played. France lead Colombia 1-0. As things stand , The U.S.and France advance and North Korea may advance as one of the two best third place teams.
Constant U.S. pressure off a corner leads to another as North Korea could not win a header.
Desperate defending from North Korea.
Every time there is a physical challenge the North Koreans go down. No wonder why they struggle.
The North Korean team was kicked out of the 2015 world Cup because five of their players tested positive for steroids.They were allowed special dispensation to participate in the Olympics. Third place Australia were furious.
OH!NEARLY 2-0 AS THE KEEPER TIPPED A SHOT FROM ABBY WOMBACH ON TO THE POST AND HEATHER O'REILLEY SHOT THE REBOUND INTO THE SIDE NETTING WITH AN EMPTY NET.
The U.S. lead 1-0 thanks to a goal from Abby Wombach and they have hit the post twice.
Carly Loiy shoots over after a great run by Heather O'Reilly . Now Song yi Kim is booked for failing to retreat back on a free kick. The second for North Korea
This time the corner eludes everyone.
Two minutes of stoppage time.
Halftime and the U.S. lead 1-0 at OT.
The second Half is underway from OT. Tobin Heath is on for Megan Rapiano
Nearly 2-0 U.S. as Tobin Heath chipped the keeper and chipped it over with just the keeper to beat. It all started with a tackle won by heather O'Reilly just outside the box.
More desperate North Korean defending
Rio and Chicharito are in attendance as the rain starts to fall at OT.
The North Koreans seem content to lose 1-0, hoping that New Zealand vs Cameroon will turn out favorably for the North Koreans.
Lots of North Korean possession in the U.S. half , but not a single shot nor corner.
Sauerbraun is on for Bueler.
Gyoung becomes the third North Korean to be booked. More bookings than shots.
North Korea have made their final substitution and need a draw to advance as one of the two best third place teams.
Cheyney is fouled just outside the box by Gyoung , who had just been booked and she becomes the first player to be sent off in this tournament. The correct decision.
O'Reilly took it short and Cheyney had a deflected effort saved comfortably by the keeper.
The U.S. made their final change as it appears to be mission accomplished for the U.S. In the other Group G match France lead Colombia 1-0 at SJP
Alex Morgan was through on goal with just the keeper to beat, but took too long to shoot and was easily dispossessed. A great pass from wombach.
The North Koreans finally had a shot as Silberbauer headed out and cross and Cheng shot just over from just outside the box.
Abby wombach is fouled just outside the box from a long ball by Rapaino.
The free kick from Carly Lloyd is straight to the keeper.
O'Hara shoots just over from twenty five yards after a cross was headed out. Two minutes of stoppage time.
The North Korean keeper punches away a cross from O'Reilly that could have easily been caught
It's over and the U.S. win 1-0. They will play Friday at 9:30 AM at SJP against an opponent yet to be determined.North Korea will advance if New Zealand vs Cameroon is drawn or Cameroon defeats New Zealand by less than four goals.

That was a decent chance for Kelly Smith as she shot wide on the half volley as the Brazilians failed to properly head away a cross.

More thuggishness from Brazil as Kelly Smith is fouled. it should have been a booking.

Nice GB possession , but the final pass was cleared.
Another chance for GB as Assanti was put through, but sliced a shot wide with just the keeper to beat
