What They're Saying
South Korea head coach Yoon Dukyeo (via FIFA): "Today is a stepping stone for Korean women's football. We are pleased to take on the challenge of France [in the next round]. They are a very strong opponent and leaders in the football world. We know that, and our team thinks we still have a lot to learn, but we will do our best on the pitch."
France head coach Philippe Bergeroo (via FIFA): "When you win 5-0, a coach is always going to be happy. We are going to try to relax and analyze what happened in the game [against Mexico], but we know we played very well. Our first objective was to progress from the group, and it's done now, so we can breathe a little and take the rest of the tournament match-by-match."
