As the 2012 Women's Olympic Soccer tournament continues, Team USA will face-off against North Korea today at 12:15 p.m. ET.

Team USA have already booked a seat in the quarterfinals, but Coach Pia Sundhage wants to keep the momentum going as the team prepares to face difficult matches ahead.

Sundhage's group passed their first test with 4-2 victory over France after trailing 2-0.

As for North Korea, Coach Sin Ui Gun knows that going into this match the team will need favorable results.

After being shut out by France 5-0 in Day 1 of the tournament, they bounced back with a 2-0 win over Columbia.

The win over Columbia should have given the team some confidence, but in today's game they're considered the underdogs whose primary objective is expected to stay in the game as long as it's possible.

North Korea had a controversial scene in their first game as they got on to the field 40 minutes late on Wednesday night. The South Korean flag was placed on the scoredboard by mistake and the North Koreans were outraged.

The organizers eventually apologized and guaranteed it would never happen again.
