NWSL might be over for 2017, but the USWNT will keep it rolling this fall. They kick off the first of two friendlies against South Korea on Thursday in New Orleans. These teams last met in 2015 for a 0-0 draw ahead of the World Cup.
South Korea is a team undergoing some development at the moment; they’ve previously shown a lot of promise, especially at the youth level, and they’re now trying to leverage that into senior WNT success. Korea can play a tight possession game while they probe the defense for passing channels, although strong US pressure could keep them off balance.
