(Reuters) - South Korea women's coach Colin Bell has set his sights on steering the team to the latter stages of the women's World Cup in July and August, as they aim to build on last year's runner-up finish at the Asian Cup.
South Korea will compete at their third straight World Cup and fourth overall, but have advanced to the knockout stage only once, reaching the final 16 in 2015 in Canada.
"It's really important for our players to realize that, when we follow our principles of play, we're quite capable of beating, as far as I am concerned, every nation," Bell told reporters on Thursday. South Korea will begin their World Cup campaign against Colombia before taking on Morocco and former champions Germany at the July 20-Aug. 20 tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
