00:46 It's always a tough competition and battle against Myanmar

00:49 and it always seems to be such an important game for us and also them

00:54 and they know that.

00:55 I think we've played them a handful of times now and it's gone back and forth.

01:00 I think the last one we lost 1-0 to them so we have to make that up tomorrow.

01:05 Myanmar team is very physical and also a very technical team

01:10 and I think we've played them a handful of times now that we know a lot of their personnel

01:15 but that also means they know a lot of us.

01:35 A win and a good win will get us through to the next stage

01:38 but we're just focused on getting a win and finishing second in the group.

01:42 The girls are looking fantastic and ready to play well.

02:03 South Korea is leading their group to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.
