They can be attacked route 1, but they plan for that as they move their defensive line up, so teams that adjust to a route 1 approach don't catch the Korean off guard. Very much a matter of the system elevating the team.

I'll tell you what, this Korean side is very difficult to play against. They're adept at attacking from defense.
They set a very disciplined defensive line that is difficult to play through, and they slowly move that line up until they're pressing your defenders.
Full time in both matches. One winner. One extra time.

Corner taken short but played in from wide, and Sofia Couto gets up and puts an excellent header off the post and in the net.
The goal felt like it was coming.
60' Brazil 1-0 USA
A lot of Brazilian pressure to start the second half. They've had a few corners. But they're really not putting threatening chances on target. Still, US will want to stem Brazil's dominance, or the goal will surely come.
55' Brazil 0-0 USA
Close from Bazil.
Long ball in the box is not well handled by the US defense. The ball falls to Brendha. She spins and shoots from about the penalty spot, but she skies her chance.
50' Brazil 0-0 USA
